more than half done with toe-up kneesocks

[snugglekitty]

So, I finished my first sock! And I'm about halfway through the second. It may not look that way, but since I am somewhat inexperienced with socks, the toe and heel are the hardest part for me - I expect smooth sailing from here on out!

	One-and-a-half stockings You may be wondering, "Why are the heels different colors even though the stripe pattern is the same?" The reason is that my feet are half-a-size different. And now I can make socks that fit each one! Amazing!
	Reverse of completed stocking This shows all the stitch markers and lifelines in the first sock.

I made these with Cascade 220 - a somewhat heavier weight than is usually used for socks. They will be nice and toasty for the winter. My feet tend to get cold...

Also, I signed up for the Magic Loop workshop at Woolcott. The class will be in about three weeks. It teaches you how to do two socks at a time on one pair of circular needles. (I made these kneesocks on doublepoints.) Fabulous! I can't wait!

I also just finished my first sock! I learned Magic Loop when I made a diaper soaker for my son and I think you will love it! It seemed really hard for me to grasp at first, but then I just let go of the written words, and did exactly what it said, no matter how crazy sounding, and sure enough it worked! :) Congrats on your sock!!!
