One of the things on my "Bucket List"............


Loved the idea of the "bucket list" from the movie (didn't see the movie) ~~ a list of things you would like to accomplish, etc. before you "kick the bucket".  My list is so very long I hope to be around at least another 100 years to make 
a dent it it.

Anyway, one of the things I have always wanted to do was to learn to knit socks -- great project for a beginner, right?  Well, thanks to the enthusiasm and encouragement of a group of special friends, 
I gave it a try.  

Here are my first 2 socks -- now to get their mates done.  I hope to have the blue mate done tomorrow some time, and then on to the multi colored/stripped sock's mate.  This is really fun and 4 double pointed needles is doable and I am having such fun learning. LOL.

Jackie, that is one of my favorite movies. You should see it.
As for your socks I think they make a lovely pair. Wear them like that..
But it you must make another pair to match this pair because you might lose one in the dryer or something..
Hugs,

Love the stripey ones.

Love to you and Joe.

Jackie, I love your socks. You are so lucky to have friends to help you learn how to knit. I always wanted to. I taught my self the basics, but crochet comes easier for me. But I would love to knit well. I love the lacey look you can achieve in knitting.

So what else is on your list. That would be a better tagged list don't you think? If I ever get tagged again, I'll start a new strain.
