Back to crochet

I did'nt get much sewing done this summer, but I did pick up my hooks again! I'd been wanting to make socks for ages, but struggled with dpn's - I'm all thumbs! In the end I picked up my crochet socks book up, and the pattern I found too complicated before suddenly became clear :)

So I've made a sock! Just the one for now! It's not perfect by a long shot, it's a bit loose round the cuff and the toe isn't quite the right shape, but I have a better understanding of how a sock is made up. I have also started on a hat, crochet again, as I couldnt manage circular needles either. It feels great to just get back to doing something I can do, as struggling for so long was just making me loose confidence.
