handwork while you wait

I did it--I've finished a sock!!

I had to rip out a couple times and

wasn't sure I was going to make it through--

when it came time to shape the gussets,

I didn't arrange the stitches properly

on the needles...knitted awhile and realized

something was very wrong.

I ripped out and read the instructions

over & over til they finally sunk in,

and then it made perfect sense.

Then I cruised along, but upon finishing

the toe, I found the sock was too short...ripped

out again and easily corrected that.

I've cast on for the second and am thinking

it may be a good 'take along' project to pack this week

for my flight to Atlanta--I must have

something to keep my hands {and mind} busy on the plane,

{I'm not really fond of flying}.

Speaking of 'take along' projects,

I hope you will check out Handwork While You Wait Week

Plus, Benita will also be giving away a prize ~
