I Made a Sock!

Yes, it's been a while.  I was a knitting machine and then there was a lull there for a bit but I'm back!  Here's what I've been up to...

I went to another class on knitting socks on two circular needles.  So fun!  I just finished the first one so when I have time I'll complete the set.

Here's the look after class one.  I have previously knit using two circular needles so I was familiar with the technique.  We cast on and I completed my cuff then began working on the leg portion.  What's fun about making your own socks is that you can design them for yourself.  I prefer longer socks so I was able to make these to my liking.  I tried them on a few times to be sure they would fit me...

Looking good!  Sometimes my cats help me knit...today it was Mr. Oktoberfest.

Just getting ready to tie off the toe...let's see if it's a fit -

AWESOME!  And what a fun design the yarn I selected made :)  After finishing this one I absolutely want to work on the mate so I can start wearing my hand-knit socks. 

I also finished up on a scarf for my mom this morning.  What else is in queue? I received 6 button scarf orders (completed one below) and a back ordered beer cozy.  I also have a few Christmas gift ideas brewing...
