A new project

I've been a little out if sorts and adjusting to all this new "busy"ness. I have decided to return back to knitting after giving up on it for more than a year. I bought a booklet of socks and pretty slippers and I plan to leave it at the studio where on a night when I am not busy I can pull it out and master it. I picked a lovely dark blue-gray for my first pair and after 3 tries have managed to finish my first 1//2 inch. I feel so accomplished and cannot wait to get back to it this evening. I love starting new projects it fills me with such anticipation. I really want to master this art. I love the stitches but I need to learn a few things like how to fix a dropped stitch just in case because in the past I have just had to rip out the whole thing which gets old very,very fast and which made me give up in the first place. Someday I am going to be good enough to knit a sweater, until then I'll stick with socks and dish rags. I'll leave this post with my first picture of my progress so far. Lord willing I won't have to tear it out and start over tonight!
