See? My wrists are like sticks; it's genetic, my mum had thin arms too.

I've seen some glove patterns where the main part is done side to side rather than in the round, but it wouldn't work with the fingers. I've knitted gloves before and the fingers are so fiddly.

I don't doubt I could knit socks if I tried, I can figure out pretty much any pattern and I have some sock patterns that belonged to my aunt, I've just never felt inspired to. There are so many sweater and cardigan patterns I want to try, and I used to knit baby clothes a lot, first for my sister, then for friends, and then for a shop, which sadly went out of business (not because of my knitting). Maybe I'll give it a go someday, although I think I gave away the sock wool I had. It was all grey anyway, too boring. I'd have to get pretty colours =)
