2-at-a-time socks

I bought this book awhile ago... early summer and today I got it out with some yarn....

I was ready to start my first pair of socks. I've done the first row 6 times. So I decided , maybe, just maybe I should learn how to knit socks first.

So I got out 4 double pointed needles, cheap ones, and learned why my sister said knitting hurt her fingers. Those needles are sharp.

I will not give up, I will not give up, I will not give up.

I have some larger double pointed needles in bamboo....maybe they won't be so sharp and does it really matter if these socks fit anyone?
