Today I finished that quilt block ~ got it attached to the fabric and got our name on it.  Feels good.

Last night, I started my first full-sized sock from Cat’s new book.  I did the Tibetan Sock and got the toe increases done before I went to bed.  Today, I didn’t get to start knitting until probably 2 pm….and I am wearing a finished sock right now!

The sock is done double-stranded on size 5 needles…but it is all so strange compared to knitting socks the traditional way.  I think it is nothing short of amazing!  My sock is a little loose and I will make adjustments for that, but it is so comfortable, I love it!  The sock is intended to be a house sock but my friend said hers fit easily in her crocs.  

Look at how different it is.

Cat is a genius!  My book is already looking used.  I have post-it notes and tablet paper scattered through it with all my equations but she says you will come to a point where you do not need to keep referring to it all.  It is making more sense to me now, but I’ve got a way to go.  I do remember how confusing making a tradional sock was, though, soI’m must going to enjoy learning.

The weekly mystery clue will be posted by the time I get up in the morning and then I’ll be back to that.  I’m so glad I got to feel like I accomplished something fun, though.  We only have 2 more clues, so next Friday will be the final and then we’ll see where we all end up.  It has been a fun experience for me.
