Olympic Gold!


Finished Socks!!


Olympic victory is mine; I finished my first pair of knitted socks tonight. I can't wait to wear them to work tomorrow!! Overall, I was really surprised that knitting socks wasn't that hard for me. Except for the kitchener stitch. I wouldn't be surprised if Hubs could kitchener stitch the toe seam after overhearing me listening to the tutorial on knittinghelp.com many, many times.

I think I'm going to be hooked on sock knitting for awhile. Tuesday night, I put in an order with Knitpicks for more sock yarn :)

Next projects to be worked on will be the DNA scarf, and I'll be pulling Cozy out from the bottom of my knitting bag. Oh, and socks for Hubs when I get that Knitpicks order :D

Sock Stats: Lorna's Lace Shepherd Sock yarn in the Aslan colorway. Knit on Crystal Palace size 2 bamboo needles over 12 days. Pattern is from Sensational Knitted Socks in a garter rib stitch. Overall, I loved the yarn, directions, and needles.
