Socks complete!

So here it is! My first pair of socks and they're complete!

I worked my hands to the bone yesterday and finally got the second sock finished... ahh, the feeling of accomplishment!

This was a free pattern from Lionbrand--a great pattern for me to learn the basic method for making a sock. So I'm pleased with that, but I will not make this sock again--I want something that fits more snug around my arch and I really think that because this sock is all st-st that it will stretch out over the course of a day.

I rushed through my second sock on this because I can't wait to try another sock pattern and use my yarn I purchased last week. But I promised myself no knitting today until I've finished cleaning my house and started at least one load of laundry! Thats complete now, and I already ran to my mom's house to pick up some size 1 needles so I can start the Jaywalker pattern!

Thanks Ilix & TK for the sock pattern suggestions... good thing I bought some yarn online today so I'm getting ready for sock pair #3 & 4 and ...--I think half the fun is picking out the next project! I can see myself going out of control with sock yarn very shortly!
