Have You Ever Wondered How to Knit a Sock?

It's not that difficult and it's oh so much fun.

You only need to learn how to knit 1 sock, do it again, and voila, you'll have a pair for yourself or some lucky bugger.

This is the first sock I ever knit. You only need to know 2 stitches, knit and purl. Of course the more stitches you know the more fun you can have.
