Look what I did!

Sock1


sock2


sock3

I made my first sock! There were several techniques that I had never used before so I followed the pattern exactly without worrying about the gauge. So its a little on the small side but that's ok. I wasn't really planning on doing a pair this time since I figured I might have some mistakes, which I do! There are a couple holes where the stitches naturally want to be loose there. But that's ok, I learned where I need to really yank on it to get it tight enough.

I had a lot of fun learning this! I've been wanting to do socks for a while and I finally found instructions that a 3 year old could follow. I think I could do a pair in a week and a half or so. I like fast projects, I don't have time to get bored!
