I recently completed my first sock and am very pleased with the result. My son was also. When I first started knitting, I took a sock knitting class and failed miserably. I had promised him a pair of hand knitted socks and am finally half way through my promise! I present the first sock...not sure what yarn it is...I do know I can wash and dry it, according the owner of Woolly
Lamb! He is off to Marquette University in the fall so I hope I can made a few more pairs to keep his feet warm up in Wisconsin!

Today I also joined a Summer Sock Making Knitalong. I was checking out http://wendyknits.net/ and read about the Summer of Socks 2008. I found a link to http://zarzuelaknitsandcrochets.com/blog and learned all about this two month knitalong. It begins on June 21 and runs through September 1. You have to register by May 15. Check it out.

Good for you! And the sock looks great! now you just have to knit the other one - sometimes that is the hard part. I've missed the deadline on summer of socks unfortunately, should have looked at your blog earlier. I'm knitting the Sonora Cardigan (free pattern at http://nashuaknits.com/freepatterns/index.html
from linen yarn, like knitting string and my tension is a bit loose, hopefully it is going to fit. Best wishes, Sharon
