Well here it is, the first sock I've made from the SKS book. It's nothing fancy, just the class sock. What's exciting about it for me is the fact that I knit it using a new technique for me! I made it using 2 circular needles. Previously, I've only made socks using either 4 or 5 dpns. What a change to use 2 circulars. I didn't have to worry about the dpn slipping out onto the floor!!!! It also seemed to go along much faster. I made the sock using some leftover sock yarn on size 2 needles. It's the perfect size for an infant, but won't be of much use unless I decide to knit another so that it'll be a pair. I'll have to add doing that to the project list. Right now, I've started a sock on 2 circulars following the pattern for baby cable rib. If only I had more time to knit though! Lately, life has been so busy between work and the kids that when I finally do have the time to sit down in the evening, I find myself falling asleep.

That's a beautiful sock! I love the colours. What yarn did you use, please?
cute socks! :) will it have a mate?
I had bought the yarn from Knitpicks. I went to their site to see what the name was and I think it must have been discontinued as I couldn't find it their anymore. I think eventually I'll make the mate for it because then I can use give it to someone sometime, but I have too many other socks I want to knit first.
