Adventures with socks

I used to think I was hopeless with double pointed needles. But once I got so bored I tried, and ended up with a cute baby hat (even though it was acrylic . . . blecch). Now I can knit socks, and since this blog is lacking in pictures, I thought I would post some. My first socks:

Silly Me

I bought a Knifty Knitter flower loom for $4.99 at Jo-Ann Fabrics. I immediately tried to make a turtle with it, and found that one of the pegs came out. After some experimenting, I found out that ALL the pegs came out. So I thought about gluing them in, but we were out of Superglue. So I posted on Ravelry, a great site, about it, and within less than an hour I got a response: the pegs are MADE to come out for easy flower removal. Sometime I might glue the pegs in, but for now I use tissue to secure them.
