I re-taught myself to knit last year and made heelless socks, but it turned out I'd taught myself to do circular knitting inside out, with the bendy part of the needle closer to me and the needle points on the far side. This week I learnt to do it right-way-in and started a second pair of the same socks in a beautiful deep teal wool. So that's what I'm knitting now and a pattern I'm making again... and it's also an easy one for beginners if learning magic loop isn't insurmountable.
I'd like to learn a lot of things branching off from the socks. My next project will probably be fingerless mitts, which aren't much of a stretch. I'd like to do gloves but they seem a lot fiddlier. The new skill I'd like to learn is how to make socks with heels -- there are a lot of ways of going about turning heels so I'll have to pick one to try.
