more than half done with toe-up kneesocks

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!

( Look, pictures! )

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!

All in all, it was lovely. I'm feeling very happy and relaxed.

To-do projects for this week - make a new roommate flyer, and register my business with Somerville City Hall.
