My first sock...

I am knitting my first ever pair of socks. Using the cuff down method and making them a little shorter than the pattern. :)

excuse the foot... ;)

I got the pattern from the latest spotlight knitting essentials magazine - which by the way only cost $2.95 when I used my spotlight VIP card! Pretty cheap for 94 patterns.

I have avoided knitting socks before, because of the double pointed needles, and I didn't see the point when you can buy socks so cheaply. But you know what I think these socks are going to be so comfy to wear - and all the effort will be worth it.
