first sock finished

Taadaa - my first ever sock!!!
Knitty's Diamante (toe-up!), Sulivans sock yarn, 2.5mm dpns, size:manly.

The colour is this shot isn't great - it's less 'pine-lime' in real life.

Ofcourse, the pair is on the way, but I might have a try of something else in the meantime... lol =)

Hello everybody.

My name is Jayne, my blog is on the sidebar as 48 Hour Day and I thought I'd say hello with the first sock I have cast on for this escapade.

Personal challenge - to finish as many socks as possible and to finish at least one pair just for me.

Wool is Trekking XXL in colour 23, 2.5mm needles, in a pattern called "Gingerbread Rib" from a book borrowed fom Miriam (in the sidebar as nrrdgrrl).

Recipient is my 17YO son - if you are so inclined you can find out how big his feet are on the blog.

I cast this on on Monday and am now knitting the heel flap. Once I turn the heel and hit the foot the REAL knitting will start.

I think that will do for now. Hopefully you'll be seeing plenty of "I've finished" posts from me soon. Bye from South Africa.
