The Second Sock

I started work on the second sock as soon as I.finishes the first one.  This one seems to be going a lot quicker.  I finished the cuff in two sittings and I'm making great strides on the ankle section already.  Hooray!

The Sock... finally!

The Sock that started out life as a ball of variegated sock yarn, got crocheted into a sock, lost, found, ripped apart and knitted is finally complete!

What?  Another one?  I have to make another one?

Nooooooooo!

The Sock Saga

Socks.

I think it's cool to have something to wear that you knitted or crocheted yourself, but I'm an odd size and I'm getting tired of scarves.  Socks seemed a good idea, so I actually crocheted a pair a few years ago. 
I was at a knitting and Stitching show one year at Ally Pally and found this really cool variegated sock yarn.  I started to crochet socks with it and found that it was highly likely I wasn't going to have enough for a whole pair.  Crochet takes up about three times more yarn than knitting does, so I decided to learn how to knit socks.

Knitting is a very slow process for me so this sock is taking ages to grow.  Here's the last known photo of the sock.  It's not much bigger now, but I have been spreading myself quite thin lately.
