You knit? You mean like in the old days?

I had a friend over for dinner yesterday and it never ceases to amaze me how amazed people are that I knit! When I told her that I had taken up knitting she was thoroughly surprised; but once she saw the socks I had made and the beautiful yarns that I had she has made me promise to teach her to knit.

I have now managed to start the pattern for the Gentleman's socks for Dad, which is looking really good, although I am worried that the socks will be too big. I cast on 80 st for the foot with 2.5mm needles (I'm a fairly tight knitter), but will get my boyfriend to try them on for size tonight so that I know whether to frog or not to frog.

Still waiting for the boyfriend to purchase me some yummy yarn for being so nice at the weekend and picking him up at 1.30am! I expect that he will try and get out of it by buying me dinner instead...not if I get my way! Food or yarn; no comparison!

Love x
