Knitting my first sock...

[annf]

The library didn't have a single book on knitting the first sock, and the beginner books had a starter slipper and sweater - no sock patterns.  So I got three sock books - thinking that the Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook's basic sock pattern would be as the title said basic.  Nope.

The book is short, and the lack of stitch glossary should have clued

Ooh, good luck with that. I've been wanting to try knitting but it all seems very daunting.

Not so daunting...

I've knit afghans for years - actually it's a great thing to do while reading fanfic online - you feel like you've still accomplished something.. And you can do only 1 stitch and still make yarn into a blanket. :) Following a pattern is newer to me, because following a pattern means audiobooks or tv, and not reading as a pattern means at least some attention has to be paid.
