There's Always Something Special About Your First ....

i present to you my first completed sock.

Firstsock

i used some kool-aid dyed yarn that i had hanging around and knit her up on size 5 bamboo dpns.  she's a little too long even for my sasquatch feet but i love her. 

here's a little heel detail.

Firstheel

anyway, all i can say is that a damn good thing that  ms. secret sock yarn hoarder isn't allowed to buy sock yarn anymore, because she'd have to fight me for it.

You rock! I'm still terrified of The Sock. I must get over it. (PS How's the Mac?)

Great sock! I like the colors you got with the KoolAid too - beautiful ;)

that looks wonderful!

The colors you can get from Kool-Aid are pretty fantastic, aren't they? What is the formula for dyeing with Kool-Aid, and, do you think that you can over-dye wool sweaters with it?

Hey those are beautiful. You'll soon be a sock fanatic like all the rest of us. Chelle

Welcome to Sock Country! But you had better start the second one right away - no second sock syndrome for you.

Yay - it IS about friggin time!

snork.

it's a beautiful sock! :)

Hooray! And, may I also add, it's about friggin' time. LOL

How wonderful that you've come over to the sock-knitting-side.

Congratulations on your first sock. It is simply lovely.

ooh. socks on size 5s... those must go fairly fast... are you going to try the socks that rock yarn?

Beautimous sock there, lady! The heel is especially fetching.

Beautiful first sock! I love my first socks, even though they are a tad snug. They make me feel all warm inside.

Your avatar, on the other hand, lives up to the fugly challenge!

Beautiful! I used to love socks...I kneed to start knitting them again!

Congratulations! I started knitting socks last summer, they are an addiction.

That's gorgeous! I just started learning how to knit and crochet, I have to admit I find crocheting easier.

Yay! Socks!
