A few weeks ago I bought a book called 20to Make Knitted Beanies and last Saturday when I was in Southampton at John Lewis I bought a couple of balls of Sirdar Crofter yarn to make the beret design that's shown on the front cover. There are a large number of stitches so have used a circular needle but knitting in rows rather than in the round. Nice bit of knitting to do while watching the telly.

Knitting to show
Linking with Wool on Sunday. My socks have progressed to almost a pair, just the grafting on the toe of the second sock to do. On my last link up post at the beginning of March Catherine very kindly sent me a link to a You Tube video of doing Kitchener Stitch using knitting needles instead of a sewing needle, which makes sense, just need a little quiet time to sit and concentrate, but I'll get there. Here's my progress.

I've knitted lots of things but never, ever, a pair of socks. I think I'm too scared. Did you find it difficult?
