Here is my first sock started last night for February. One evening's knitting produced a whole cuff!! GO ME! *LOL*
So far i have followed the pattern but tonight when i do the heel i will make some changes ;o)
I'm using the lovely merino that Toni sent me in the bagswap on Townies, it is really soft and springy to knit with, a little splitty but i can cope with that. The one thing i am not sure about is whether i should stretch it as i knit it or leave it at the same tension it is spun at, if that makes sense? So far i have been "not" pulling it tight and i have a nice dense fabric, i think if i pull it ithgt it will make it thiner and harder, the fabric i have now is thick and soft - yummy! I can't wait to finish them!
I'm doing the sock down to the end of the gusset decreases on magic loop and then i'll start the other one then finish them both two on one so that i don't have to count rows so dilligently when it do the feets :o)
