First Real Sock!

I made my first real sock! :)



I used the Monkey Sock pattern from knitty.com. The pattern is really clear and easy to understand.

I found myself getting confused about which row I was on in the lace pattern. So, I used a sticky tab to keep track of where I was. I think I need to get one of those things you click the button on and the number changes.

The pattern is designed for a longer leg, but I wanted short socks. So, I only went through the lace pattern twice before starting the heel-flap.

It's a cuff down pattern, and the toe is kitchener stitch. Man, kitchener is fun! And look how good it came out on my first attempt ever.

My First Sock

I am incredibly excited! I started my first sock yesterday. Granted, it's a toeless sock, but it's a sock! :)

Here is the pattern I'm using: Pedicure Socks.

This is a picture of the cuff: 1 inch of 2x2 ribbing.



It's my first time using double-pointed needles. The cast-on was much easier than I expected it to be. Knitting in the round is so fun.

After working on it just yesterday, I'm ready to work on the heel. Here is my progress so far:
