I finally got my first pair of socks done! I can hardly wait to get some more sock yarn!

I’ve got the first sock started and haven’t managed to mess it up this time (I’ve done that a few times already). Here’s hoping it keeps going well.
That’s how long this one seems to be taking me. I got a book in the mail today from Interweave Press called Favorite Socks. It’s got 25 beautiful patterns in it! Ahhh, inspiration!
And I haven’t gotten started on this again! Things have been busy and the days haven’t been my own. I wish I could sneak my yarn to work, but I think they’d notice.
Well, I got it going on three needles (four counting the working one) and then realized that between two of the needles is a loop that should have been tightened more. Darn.
I gave up on that first pattern. It was off the label of the yarn and while that’s a nice basic pattern, when you’re trying to learn these things, it’s nice to have something to refer to. So! I went looking for sock how-to on the net and I found this! http://www.royea.net/sockdemo1.html What a wonderful thing for Terri to do, putting this all together for people like me. I’ve got to write and thank her.
I’m working on a basic pattern with five size 2 needles. Argh! This is tricksy.
