Sock!

Here is my progress so far on my first ever hand knit sock. I am pretty excited about it. I am taking a three week class, and this is what we learned to do in the first class. I only got about three quarters of the ribbing done in class and did the rest as homework. Tomorrow I will learn how to do heels, and at the last class we do toe shaping. I just realized that I took the picture with the sock upside down (which is how I am knitting it) the ribbing at the bottom of the photo is actually the top of the sock. Anyway, I really like the yarn, which is Trekking XXL in the raspberry dream colorway. I already have great plans to buy some more yarns from the Loopy Ewe in October to do future socks with. Hopefully the rest is as enjoyable as the start. I like being able to knit at work without having to haul something big and bulky around. At the same time, I am waiting at least until sock 1 is done and sock 2 is started before buying any more yarn, just in case I find out suddenly that I don't like to knit socks as much as I think I do. If this works though, Loopy Ewe gift certificates will be lovely gifts for years to come. (hint, hint)
