I let myself spend an hour today finishing my first pair of hand knitted socks. I am so excited to have them complete. It is a huge sense of accomplishment. I have been told by several at my favorite local yarn store, "Imaginiknit", that there is nothing like wearing a pair of hand knitted socks. I decided if they are that good, I must try them! Of course, the first pair are not for me. The girls will get to enjoy the fruits of my labor (not sure that knitting can be called "labor". I've done actual labor x 3....knitting is fantastic).
Most of the time, the only way I get to actually sit and knit is when the kids are at dance, gymnastics, soccer, etc. On occasion if I am not just completely exhausted after the kids go to bed, I will knit for a few minutes. But usually it is the hours I am at one of their activities that I get to knit. So, I did let myself knit this morning at home and complete the socks. I am very proud of them. Now on to pair #2!
