"The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: That a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists."
- Gilbert Keith Chesterton

First Sock!

I am so proud of this sock! I've wanted to kit socks for years - but turning the heel melted my mind! This year, I was determined to try again! I asked my daughter for a sock knitting book for Christmas and when we went away on holidays I started - but it was thanks to YouTube and knitpicks that I was able to knit the heel flap, turn the heel and knit the gusset - returning to the computer at my mother in-law's house to watch over and over again!



I'll be sitting in front of the computer when it's time to do the tricky bits again on the second one - thank you Kelley!!!
