This my first attempt at knitting a sock. I'm following instructions
found in the Basic Sock Pattern in the book Learn To Knit Socks,
from the American School of Needlework (ISBN 0-88195-871-9). I picked
it up at A.C. Moore
yesterday (Dec. 2). The only yarn I had that's even close to sock weight
is some baby wool I got at The World In Stitches (LYS in Littleton),
so I started with that on size 2 DPNs. I didn't follow the pattern exactly
(obviously), because I was using this as a learning tool), and it sorta
looks like something mutated horribly... but the tricky bits (heel turn,
gusset, toe decrease and the Kitchener stitch which grafts the toe)
are what I was concerned with, and they turned out all right (I need
to practice Kitchener!).
