Knitting again

I've started knitting again recently. I can't remember the last time I did a decent amount of knitting, and I do miss it. This time it's a pair of socks as a present for a friend (shh, don't say anything).

This time I'm trying Winwick Mum's 'sockalong' pattern. It's been pretty straightforward to follow, although I've gone wrong a couple of times and have to undo a few rows (oops). I now have one whole sock though, hooray!

I confess I always get a bit impatient when I'm knitting a second sock. I feel like I've got to the end of a project, and therefore shouldn't have to do the same thing all over again. Maybe I should get a second set of needles and have both socks on the go at the same time, and do a row of each in turn. 

I'm half way through the second one now though, and quite enjoying the 'Fair Isle effect' wool (not sure it looks like real Fair Isle knitting, but it's pleasingly stripey all the same).

My mind is already on the next project - another pair of socks, this time with a single needle, rather than the four short double pointed needles I've always used before. I'm not sure how it'll work out, but I'm quite excited to find out. 

Sock knitting is a pretty good craft project for me at the minute. We've still not moved (of course) and everything is still in boxes, so this is something that doesn't take up a lot of space, and doesn't need a lot of equipment. 

I wonder how many pairs of socks I'll end up with before we finally move??
