i've been knitting up a storm...christmas is coming!
...and many pre-chistmas birthdays.
here's mom's b-day socks, finished today:

lots of people ooh and ahh when they see me knitting socks, and they seem so impressed...but i know for a fact it is easier than it looks.  with a little effort and patience, you could teach yourself to do it too! i found a comprehensive website which has taught me most things i know about knitting: silvers sock class 

there are easy instructions with great pictures to help you all along the way
i have used this very pattern (with a few personal modifications) 

to knit over 50 pairs of socks over the past three years!
