I'm not a knitter - I know the basic stitches but have never done anything more adventurous than dishcloths and scarves. But I have always wanted to knit socks, and I love all the pretty sock yarn, so I did some googling, found the most basic pattern that also had a real-time Youtube instructional video (Crazy Sock Lady's vanilla socks pattern, can 100% recommend) and I went and KNIT SOME SOCKS.
I am most unreasonably pleased with myself. The needles are smaller and the yarn finer than I'm used to, and it took ages. There are heaps of mistakes and I think I made them too big ... but still, I knit some socks. It has a slip stitch heel and a gusset and everything. Unbelievable.
I have cast on another pair already. Same pattern but I'm hoping it won't take three months this time.
