I'm adding a large black stripe here - Apparently I'm a tight knitter, and so I was running out of yarn! I saved enough stripy yarn to finish the toe with it :-)
Also - I have broken three bamboo needles with this one sock....and so now I'm using metal Addi's - which I LOVE!

My first SOCK!
In my last blog update, I noted that the lovely MsLindz sent me beautiful yarn, and knitting needles, too! (oh yes, and those GORGEOUS Lakeside socks! and a project bag made just for me...yes, in short, I got spoiled by a wonderful knitting faerie!)
So, yesterday I got started, and here is my first sock!
This morning I woke up telling my husband that I dreamed about socks.
He said, "argyle?"
Me, "no, stripes"
Him, "oh. cool."
and then he went to make the coffee :-)

What a care package, eh? There is sock knitting in my near future!!!
What a care package, eh There is sock knitting in my near future!!!, originally uploaded by _Anaya_.
My friend Lindsey made those GORGEOUS socks (for Ravelry people, they're called Lakeside socks), and TOTALLY surprised me with the rest of the goodies in the box! She sent yarn, three sets/sizes of needles, she even made me that cute lil purple project bag! And, look at that cute card, too!
On Saturday, a new knitting friend is loaning me a sock book, and has offered to tutor me in the art of sock making! I'm ready to make socks!!
by the by - I was opening this package as Lindsey was waking up from back surgery ...she came through it with flying colors, and is making great progress (walking the morning after surgery, go her!)
This really made my week - which, quite honestly, has been kind of crappy!
Thank you, Lindsey! I cannot WAIT to wear those socks!!!
Maybe those can be my first socks after this silly knee surgery! MY lucky socks!! ;-)
