Well then...

So, I have finished my socks (yes, I finished them...they are slightly uneven, but I love them, and have ever faithfully been wearing them whenever possible - amazingly they have yet to develop any smell, which only indicates that I have been smart about taking them off when I am not in direct need of them)! I am very happy with the way that they turned out (I read a lot about people having problems with holes when they turned the heel). The only issue that I have had with respect to my socks is that the ribbing appears to be very very loose. :( Gonna have to work on that. Anywho, here are several pictures (and I realize some of these are repeats) of the entire process:

Wee!!!!!
