Finished my first full-sized sock!



Made with Plymouth Sockotta in the #18 colorway. The colors are actually a lot more vibrant than the picture shows. Made with the pattern in Knitty's Socks 101 article, and I used kitchener stitch to finish off the toe. ^_^ Now to make the other one...

Mew!!! *has reverted to kitten state in order to paw at the sock properly* kneadknead

It looks a bit short for my liking, tho.

(pets the kitten!Em) ^_^

Eh, I like short socks. Plus, this is my first time making them and I wasn't sure how long I could make the cuffs without running out of yarn. I only have one skein of that yarn, and I'm pretty sure my LYS isn't carrying that colorway anymore. At least, it's not listed on their site.

Oh, and this is what I think is my yarn: here except that the stripes are blue and yellow and green, with white/grey spotty thingy's. I am going to take it into the yarn shop and ask the lady for help, with dpns, and with a provisional cast-on (I want to do toe-up) and if I have enough yarn for this. Whoot.

(Pouts) Hey, Emmy- I'm the Leo around here! (Gets a cunning look) Actually, it's okay. (Stalking, stalking, stocking, stalking- POUNCES both Emmy and the sock)

Two birds... one pounce... ooh!! Picture's loaded: Purty sock!!!

Very very cool, Krysta. (Gets thoughtful) I wonder if I could... Ah! No, have plans, no get distracted by yarn or shinys!
