One Tower of Pisa Sock Done

2007 started with a bang project-wise.  by mid march i had made 2 scarves, 1 hat, 1 pair of socks, 2 baby sweaters, baby mitts, and i'd spun close to a pound of fiber  ... and then i got sucked into the ripple and started working on some socks.

my tower of pisa socks.

or more accurately ... sock.  i call it the tower of pisa because the stitch, "mailles croisees" (crossed stitches) from a marie claire idees stitch dictionary that i bought this summer in france, makes the leg of the sock look like the leaning tower. 

my struggles have been great.  in the time it's taken me to knit pairs of socks, i barely managed to knit one.  so when i actually got through the toe while at work today, i was eager to finish.

but i didn't have a sewing needle on me to kitchener the opening closed.  so i mac gyvered one.

on to my second sock!
