My First Sock!

Poor Mum was not feeling well today, so we didn’t spend the day together as we normally would. Instead, I took a gentle walk into town, and had an iced coffee while I read the paper, and then ventured into the park, where I sat on a bench in the shade, and finished my first proper sock. (I say proper as in four-needled-finished-with-Kitchener-stitch. I have made two-needle slipper socks before, but not proper socks!)I was so excited I could have turned cartwheels! Silly me though, as soon as I got home, I cast on the next sock, but knitted four rows before I realised I had the pattern slightly off...I should have been starting on knit one purl one every row, but I was doing purl one, knit one every other row. Oops! Still, at least I noticed before I got too far. Already I am thinking ahead to my next socks....something simple in a dark, fine, soft yarn for Mr Carl, I think.
