1/2 of a Pair

My mom has been knitting socks for awhile now. We all got a pair of comfy warm socks for Christmas last year. I thought they looked really hard! At Easter, Alyssa showed Kelsey the socks her mom just made her. The pressure mounts. Can I choose not to learn to do something my mom and sister know how to do? Worse yet, can I say no to Kelsey when she asks me to knit her a pair of socks? That would be a pair of "no's"!! So Ann and I headed to the Yarn Cafe' and bought the proper kneedles and yarn. I couldn't find a local class, so I ordered a DVD off the internet to teach me the basics. I had a tough time getting started, so I got some help last weekend from the expert (Mom :-)). A week later, I have my first sock completed!

Better yet, it fit Kelsey perfectly! I had to tidy up a few mistakes, but for my first try I am very happy. Now I have to decide what to do next, college grant forms, or start the next sock!
