Yay!


So last night, when I finally got to the toe, I rejoiced. Whee!

So now I have finished ONE knee high sock in all its glory!


















Then I decided to model it. I have no more excuse--so I immediately tried on the sock. First, I tried it on inside-out and wondered why the heck the toe felt so weird. So I managed to convince myself that I had sensory integration problems (after all, I can't stand some of those sock seams), then I took a closer look at the cables, and realized that I wasn't even wearing it right. Luckily, when I put the sock on right, no more "sensory integration problems." Whew.


In order to prevent second sock syndrome, I have cast on and started the cuff of the second sock. At this rate, it will be October when I am done.

LOVE the sock! Why am I always insanely jealous of anything you make? you have the best taste - and I have a bad case of yarn envy!

I'll miss you tomorrow nite - hope the troll goes well and that I'll see you next week?

Wow, the sock is amazing. I have not attempted socks yet. I am not much of a sock wearer. However now that I live in NC instead of CA, the winters get colder here, so I may need some warm socks. I am one of your blog swap partners. Thanks for checking out my blog. I am working on a Debbie Bliss sweater for my son, I need one more ball of yarn to finish the sleeves. UGGG. Enjoyed reading your blog.
