Socks are Done! (and January recap)

I finished the second sock on Wednesday night. I haven't had a chance to take a picture and post until now. It's not the greatest picture but here they are:




It looks like one sock is smaller than the other in the top pic but it isn't. In fact, they are both exactly the same size. I did a good job on that anyway! :-) The color looks different in these 2 pics - the actual color is closer to the pic on the bottom, where they're on my feet. :-)

I used to felt clogs in a front loader all the time... (college)... i found permanent press is the best way... the problem with the machines we had is they locked as soon as you started so you hda to let it go the whole way... choose the cycle with the lowest spin cycle... it still works!

good luck with it!!! your socks are awesome!!!! i miss knitting socks!

The socks are great. Knitting pattern central is a great place to look for poncho patterns. This is also a great site--http://www.knittychick.com/its_a_wrap_free_patterns.htm You can copy and paste it into your browser. Happy knitting. You are doing quite well.
