Knitting knots

After 2 starts and 2 ripping outs, I'm nearly ready to abandon these socks. I thought socks were supposed to be fun to knit. Perhaps I've started on the wrong type, size, needles, or whatever. It was suggested to me to use 2 circulars. Since I love knitting on circulars, I thought this would be fun. NOT. I'm ready to return my 0 or 1 circulars and trade them in for double-pointed needles. I'm ready to start with sport weight yarn, instead of finger weight. At least then I could probably SEE the yarn.

And I'm unknitting my red sweater. The neck opening was too small. I bound off loosely even. But maybe my children's heads are bigger than average. So, I'm going backwards with my knitting. I've taken out the bind off, and unknit nearly 3 more rows. This is definitely going more slowly than the other direction.

On a more positive note, I'm waiting for my Lopi wool. My goal is to get 4 aviator hats knitted before Christmas. I hope I can do this.... No, I didn't wait until the last minute. I was asked a little late in the game. But like I posted before, I'm addicted to knitting, so this is fun!
