One down ....


... and about a dozen to go. I finally finished this pattern I started in November. The pattern is from Needlecraft University. It was fairly easy and it's the first time I tried to crochet socks. The pattern called for Patons Grace cotton sport weight yarn. I had never used it before and it's always nice to get a chance to use a new yarn. It is a very soft cotton and was so nice to work with. Since the pattern called for two skeins of yarn and I used about two and a half, I think my socks came out a little larger than they should have. I thought my gauge was right but I guess I thought wrong. Also, as much as I like the yarn, I think it may be a little thick for a sock ... but then, I'm not fond of thick socks. Anyway, this is number one of my many WIP's to be finished. I'm on a roll!
