Your not alone Gill. I DO knit Socks but not often or many and mostly only in plain stocking stitch. I don’t hate doing them....they just don’t rock my boat...as far as knitting goes

Gill I haven’t knitted socks since I was at school...and I haven’t knitted them since and don’t have any plans to in the near future...so you are certainly not alone in that.

HI OMA OH YOU LOVELY GIRL.  NO SOCKS
AT the moment I am sitting here trying out the pattern for the baby sandals from LK but I don,t class those as socks. HOW are you today? I am having a lazy day, I am reserving my energies......at least thats my excuse and I am unanimouse in that!!!!! !

There is nothing wrong with you dear, you are just another of those nutty sockers!!!!!

I have a simple 2needle sock pattern from a vintage knit pattern and find them soo relaxing to knit..I knitted loads as christmas presents in Navaro wool.My friends asked for more pairs. Am wearing a pair at moment..
