Teeny Tiny Knitting

After reading this post at Too Little Time's place, I was seized with a tiny sock mania. It seemed like the perfect solution to my, of late, inability to finish an entire pair of socks. I was definitely suffering from Second Sock Syndrome. Tiny socks are perfect--not only do you make only one, but that single is, well, tiny. I actually balked when E asked me to knit her American Girl a pair. A pair?! Never again, not even weeny ones.

So, between TLT's post and this instructional one, using size 0000 double pointed needles, I came up with this little guy:



This one, as suggested, will become a keychain very soon.  I sense more tiny sock keychains in my future.

How AWESOME - thank you for adding better instructions. I'm a fly by the seat of my pants kinda gal. - BTW I think it will be great to include with your Scavengar Hunt Box - =) Karrie

Your instructions were perfect--I just had to remind myself of the short rows, cause it's been a while (even with all that Rockin Sock Club yarn!!) I also made my foot a little longer than that other pattern suggested. But they are just so darn tiny!
