Déjà vu? Almost! Except that this is sock #2. Which means....
sock #1 is finished!! I'm particularly excited about this, because now I know I can knit a sock, and I also learnt how to do kitchener stitch to finish the toe. So two new skills have been added to my kit bag!
Even the heel flap went relatively well, considering that this is my first ever sock. The right side seems, well, right, except for a loose-ish connection where I picked up stitches for the gusset (the bottom of the bit that looks kind of like a triangle above). On the other hand, the left hand side?
A less successful effort. The picked up stitches are quite loose, and my decreases down the gusset have resulted in a big line of loose stitches next to the decrease line. (At this point I need to apologise for my shocking photos - I'm reliant on my iphone for the foreseeable future as my camera has decided to refuse to speak to my computer. Hurrumph.) So I'd be interested in any tips you might have to avoid the same issues on sock #2!
Even still, I'm rather chuffed that I knitted a sock. The flaws don't make it unwearable, so I'm still doing happy dances in my head every time I see it ;-)

How COOOOOL is that sock! I'm in raptures too. Adore the stripes.
Oh and I'm loving the layout. How did you do it? I had three columns but it just wasn't working proprtion-wise. Yet I kinda need the space.
I just finished my first pair-Be careful they are addictive :) I tried to put my needles down to do some beading and viola...another sock appeared :)
