GRANDPA SOCKS

#finalyear

My grandpa knits my whole family a pair of socks each for Christmas. I challenged myself to learn how to make them during lockdown. Teaching me his techniques means I can bond with my grandpa and pass down his knowledge to future generations. It took a long time, a lot of mistakes and a lot of wool but ultimately during lockdown, I learnt how to knit socks.
