They seem really intimidating, but they aren't so hard! <br /><br />Start with baby socks. They are small and don't have to be sized perfectly. Also if you screw up you haven't wasted a ton of yarn (or you can rip it out without guilty feelings).<br /><br />Good luck!<br />=) Nona<br /><br />ps... Jenn I'll be knitting several pairs for sale at my upcoming craft fair (november). You can see them there, or let me know what colors you like and I can make some special for you.nonapearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05725828448653652450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835649740570907370.post-76298290254526482922009-07-29T05:28:43.785-07:002009-07-29T05:28:43.785-07:00Absolutely beautiful socks!

Sammie is one lucky girl to receive the benefits of your many talents.<br /><br />I've never really gotten comfortable with double pointed needles. My work looks wonky to me. I have a book on how to knit socks using three different methods and I've not decided the best one to try. I think I am intimidated. But I want some that are pretty like yours, so I guess I'm going to have to hunker down one of these days and just work through the "fear."<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing!!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183514983955004655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835649740570907370.post-86152622179636549362009-07-28T21:13:50.741-07:002009-07-28T21:13:50.741-07:00Nona, I'm in awe of your knitting skills! I&#...Nona, I'm in awe of your knitting skills! I've always been in awe of your stamping skills and now, I just don't know what to say! I tried to knit my DD a scarf several years ago. I did get it finished - but it took forever, I never really enjoyed the work but had to force myself. When you feel that way about something the final product shows it. <br /><br />It's very evident that you LOVE knitting. Your projects are just amazing and beautiful!Sharli Schaitbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552311440075777587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835649740570907370.post-44511403371462194592009-07-28T12:50:21.940-07:002009-07-28T12:50:21.940-07:00Those are FANTASTIC!!

I love it though!Crafty Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16794448836368004576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835649740570907370.post-63219672391898081472009-07-28T08:33:28.000-07:002009-07-28T08:33:28.000-07:00Really lovely socks!
