Fiber Arts Friday: First Socks Finished!

As I mentioned last week, things have been sorta crazy around here.  I did however, steal a little time on Friday and Saturday evenings to work on the heel of sock #2.

Notice anything wrong with the heel?

There is a reason why one should not knit when one is tired.  :-/

I was thinking the heel seemed more difficult to work than the last one, but I figured it was because I was tired.  Everything is more difficult when you are tired, right?  So I didn't realized the mistake until Sunday morning.  Of course I did not use any lifelines because I was so confident from my last sock.  :-/

This is a reminder, if you have even the littlest thought about adding a lifeline, you should do it.

Fortunately, by the middle of the week, sock #2 looked like this...


And then sometime during my trip home on yesterday, it looked like this...


I spent a few minutes after I (finally) got home to disconnect the sock from the ball of yarn and weaved in the ends.  So...

 Ta Da!  A Pair of Matching Socks!!


Happy Fiber Arts Friday, indeed.  Make sure you visit everyone else who's linked in over at Wisdom Begins in Wonder and have a great day!

    Ok, I'm such a sock loser I couldn't identify what was wrong in the first photo. :) Yours are great ... but I'm just not on this sock bandwagon. No. Nosireebob.

    @VdV - the first heel is the size and shape for a really big toe. ;-)
