Notes

6th March 2010
I am starting the project. I am using two circular needles as described in the book. First step is the tension/gauge swatch. Seven rows and half bottle of wine; it is going well.

The project is going well, but unfortunatley things have got in the way of knitting. Course work and work. :sigh: I have made some progress, but only about 2 inches in.

Finished the first sock. Not happy with it. My dad likes it, so they are going to be made for him.
