First Socks

This morning I knit the last three decrease rounds of the second sock. It was with pure joy that I cut the yarn and pulled it through the last loops. I then wove in the loose end. I was done.

Tofutsies is really a great yarn. It was such a lovely splash of colour.

Now I just have to block the socks. According to Kate, the best way to do this is to get the socks wet, put them on, and then take them off when they’ve dried just a bit. Obviously you don’t want to be wearing wet socks on your feet for an hour, but she says that you can take them off after a few minutes and they’ll block up nicely.

I think my next project will be the wristwarmers, but we’ll see. I know there’s some plain sock yarn in my stash which could be used for a light, summery pair of wristwarmers, but I’ll decide once the novelty of having hand-knit my own socks wears off.
