Socks

I finished my first pair of socks.  Megan already wore them, so they are a little stretched out.  I learned a lot from this pair, mostly from undoing and redoing just about every part on these little buggers.  I've learned about proper knitting techniques, picking up stitches that were dropped, and living with mistakes.

This is the second pair that I've started for Sami.  They are going to be ankle socks.  What I've learned about this pair is that I can't watch TV and knit at the same time.

While my technique is getting better, I've made a couple of really stupid mistakes that I had to fix because I just wasn't paying attention.  I'm much better at listening to Dave Ramsey on the MP3 than I am at watching TV while knitting.  Because of my current "brain fog," I can't do the complicated parts while there is a lot of noise or distractions, but I can do the simple parts.  I really need quiet and concentration to do the more difficult parts.
