Mock Croc Socks
I'm knitting my first pair of socks (also my first time knitting with double-pointed needles) with KnitPicks Felici Self-striping yarn. I got a good deal on 3 balls of it from someone in a craft forum, so I think I am going to make knee-high socks. A few veteran knitters have yelled at me about picking a complicated pattern as my first pair of socks...Mel says I should have done a basic pattern (with needles bigger than the insanely small size 1 I'm using), and if I had, I'd be done with both socks by now. Instead, I have this much done of ONE sock.
To be honest, this pattern didn't seem that complicated, but because it's not just knitting or ribbing, it is taking longer, and I'm not really slaving away at it; I only work on it waiting at the allergist or when I sit and knit with Mel. I like it so far, and can only hope I continue to feel this way about it so that I will have the will-power to make a second one. :)
