Comments on: it’s only knitting, but I like it http://brunetterecluse.com/allpurpose/archives/139 You may ask yourself, well how did I get here?

Maybe I'll just do it and do a late edition of TWD. I'm in the same boat with needing to lose weight so really I want only bake twice a month and that's the minimum for TWD. We'll see how it goes. I would say these are maybe not total beginner socks, but not super advanced either, maybe just shy of intermediate. The hardest thing about socks at first is knitting in the round (really finding the method that works best for you) and then the heel stuff seems crazy the first time. There are some really great tutorials and various parts of sock knitting though that helped me learn. I'll do a post about that later this week. @Melissa: Yeah, I really wanted to do that souffle, but I went on vacation last week and it was just too crazy to fit that in too.

My problem is I'm trying to lose weight (gah), and I really only want to bake one thing a week, max...but I don't always want to bake the TWD selection. Ah well. And those are some GREAT looking socks!! What skill level do you need to make those? I used to knit, but I haven't for years; now I mostly crochet. I bought some gorgeous sock yarn when I visited a wool mill back home, and I really want to make myself a nice pair of socks. I've tried to find some crochet patterns, but they're not as nice as the knitted ones. I’ve had a hard time keeping up with TWD, too, but the souffle pulled me back in.
