Eva’s crocheted socks are finished! She likes them, but we’re not sure about our dear cat, Izzy. Izzy contemplated the socks for less than a minute and then ran off. We mustn’t assume this has anything to do with her opinion of the socks, or of Eva’s feet, for that matter.
I’m glad Eva likes her crocheted socks, but in the future, I will knit socks. The gauge was small (as it needs to be for socks). My poor, aging eyes found the stitches difficult to see. Yes, I wore my reading glasses. Please don’t remind me again.
It was way too laborious for me insert the hook into the small stitches. Also, the socks don’t stretch like I want them to.
With knitting, I don’t have to see the stitches so well. They’re just there on the needle and I can see without glasses where to place my needle in order to knit them. I had started Ella’s socks in crochet, but switched to knitting. Believe it or not, they are growing quicker than the crocheted version.
Thank you to Karen Whooley for her patient and friendly instruction in our online sock class on Crochetville! She got me thinking about socks again. Yay!
