Today I am spending my evening knitting my second ever pair of socks.

These are for my husband – I didn’t want to subject him to the first ever pair. That might still have been a bit optimistic, because keeping track of 2 plain and 2 purl – which technically only requires me to count to 2 – is too hard for me and this sock is in its all of 10 centimetres, riddled with mistakes.

Not so pro tip: choose a multicoloured yarn like the one I’m using as it camouflages your knitting bloopers.
