ONE OF THE PAIR--FINISHED!

       I am now the proud owner of the first hand-knit sock that I made for myself.  I had previously knitted two pairs of Argyles for DH in 1961 when I was working with an avid and prolific knitter.  She is actually the gal who helped me switch to knitting Continental--for which I am forever grateful to her.
       I want to thank all my knitting friends for their support, but especially DL for providing this easy toe-up sock pattern with the super stretchy bind-off directions.  And, yes, the second sock is well under way!
       As most of my friends know, I have switched from doing two-at-a-time Magic Loop to using five 5" bamboo double-pointed needles.  I love these little needles, and one sock is tiny enough to stick in my purse in case I get a few minutes to knit!

You have a HO!!! That's what the Stockinette Zombies call a Half- finished Object. I'm so happy to see that your sock is finished and that you enjoyed the process.
