I'm lucky and has mamma to always support me. It makes a huge difference. Now that we live so far apart I'm finding social craft meet ups and the internet community very helpful. Hope this spurs you back to trying. eclectichomelifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11131534550143277161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8348050486280502480.post-58901154625515490922015-05-07T12:31:26.015+01:002015-05-07T12:31:26.015+01:00Thanks for stopping by Christine.

No point trying to get one now, I suppose! But I will look again in the future. I have knit socks in the past but I mostly crochet now. I made a pair of crocheted socks - actually 5 pair - and really enjoyed that.Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234219836891799676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8348050486280502480.post-86704588470314972542015-05-06T09:57:30.791+01:002015-05-06T09:57:30.791+01:00Your socks are going to be just gorgeous in that y...Your socks are going to be just gorgeous in that yarn.

Most importantly I'm enjoying it. I'm taking my time though and just knitting one at a time. I think I would find it too overwhelming otherwise. I love your wool. XAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
