it's a sock!

I made every possible mistake, right down to dropping the toe stitches while I was doing the kitchener thing, but -- I made it through a sock!
Behold --
it's a sock

Wow! It IS a sock! Congrats. I know I felt like a "real" knitter when I knew I could do socks. All the skillz are right there.

Now I want to try a short row heel rather than a flap. But that won't happen this summer - strictly gater stitch squares for me right now. :)

Congratulations! I once had to pick out Kitchener (on a mitten, I think) because I'd dropped a stitch all the way at the beginning. Here's to gaining confidence! :-)

HOORAY! I knew you could do it, and the sock looks great! I knit socks quite a bit, and there are always dropped stitches, kitchener mistakes, etc., so don't let that get to you too much.

Great job, be sure to show everyone when you wear them!

I knew it I knew it I knew it!!!
You had it in you, you were just that great a knitter...and of course you made mistakes, are you perfect? I'm not!

WhooooooooooooooooHoooooooooooo!
Give this gal a Knitter's Standing Ovation!
(slip a crochet hook in that Posy Sock Sack so you can catch those dropped stitches quick!)

I'm soooo proud of you! Now...get busy on that second sock right away - NO SSS for you!
(especially since you're going to have a skein of Roxanne's bamboo sock yarn coming your way in just about 1.5 months, right?
(((hugs)))

Woo-Hoo is right! Well done and BRAVA, my friend:)! Now I must get going and make a real sock, not one that's felted down to size, effectively erasing any errors;)!
