I finished a sock! It took me a week but I am now ready for the GLBT single sock hop. Or something. The picture is terribly unflattering and makes my legs look like logs which they might anyway I just don't usually take pictures. No major flaws either except that my grafting still is sloppy and there's a place where I wished I'd picked up more stitches since there's more stress on that area when the sock is on and it makes a small hole. Other than that I'm pretty happy with my first sock!

Next time I make a pair I probably should learn the two at a time magic loop method and use smaller needles (I used a size 3). Also I think I'd rather just have the ribbing at the tip top but this was a good beginners sock class so I'm not complaining too much.

No, it's a snuggly warm wool sock! ;)

Two months now! And the sock tutorial I used was so easy most people could probably manage it.

Yeah, you're insanely fast. I thought at first that's the colorway I have and while it isn't, I've had it for months and still have two inches of protosock lying around. You're impressive!

That's probably because you're a knitting master who knits with both hands and all of your toes. :P A few projects are bound to fall by the wayside.

It's a Noro sock yarn that Tomas picked out.

Ok, so these socks (which are now both done) seem to be getting loose as I wear them. Can I felt them just somewhat? How much will they shrink up?
