SOCK!!!

I finished my first ever sock last night. I was soooo excited. It was a bit of a learning experience and I tried several different things to prevent ladders and I think I finally figured out what works...knit into the back loop on the first stitch of every needle. Unfortunately, the sock turned out a little large. Given the yarn I used I don't expect any shrinking but I will wear them proudly all the same. I used size 2 needles so I think I'll go down to 1.5 and see how that goes. I plan to co today for the 2nd sock b/c I don't want to fall prey to second sock syndrome. Here's a pic of my sock!!
