Show and tell: Knitting.

I do knit.  I consider myself a beginner.  I say that because I know the basic of knitting.  I know how to begin and end a project.  I know the various stitches.  Beyond that, it is not very a useful thing.  I have a really vague idea on how to make socks but I don't knot if it is realistic.  I don't know how to do mitten and other wintery stuff.  Can't do sweater either.  Doing ribs, I am not sure.  Maybe I learned about it but I don't remember.  I don't know if I can do rib.  I only know how to do scarves, bags and blankets.  So, this is why I consider myself a beginner.
I have started a blanket for a child.  Here are where I am.  I still in the beginning:
It is a nice pattern.  It is the first time that I use that checkered pattern.  It is going good enough.  I ain't slowed down by the complexity of the patter.  It is goind better than I had expected.  It is fun to make.  So, this project won't be a burden.  It will just take some time, as for any blanket.  I stil work on it on my free time.

Now, here a project I would like to make:
It is the last pair of sock I got from my grandma.  I no longer fit in them.  Never wore them either.  I keep them more for a sentimental reason.  I know they are a bit flashy.  It gives a bit a eye's migraine.  But I wouldn't trade them.   Maybe, one day, I will learn how to make them.  Would be nice to find a place where to learn to make socks.  I can go for written instruction.  The only thing is I can't ask question to the instructions.  No one there to watch over my shoulder and say if it is okay or not.  This is why I like taking class: to know the basis, to ask question, be able to makes errors and how to fix it in a safe environment, to be able to get an interaction and see if I am going in the right direction.
