Making Minis for Christmas – a free pattern

When you make little knitted things it makes people smile.  They pick up the wee bit of knitting, fondle it, and say “awwww”. Little knit things are, in my experience, a sure hit. 

I’m an Accomplished Sock Knitter… but I used to suck at at it

Even as a baby, beginning knitter I had big plans for making my own socks. At the time I was struggling with that pesky purl stitch but I knew, someday, I’d make socks. Lots and lots of socks for my poor semi-permanently-frozen feet. (I’m a big wimp in the winter and I’m always cold. Have I mentioned that? Probably only 100 times.) I’d tried making crochet socks once. Once was enough to cure me of that. Socks have to be knitted. So I took up knitting, in large part, to make socks.
