Here are a couple of photos of my very first pair of socks crocheted with the Plymouth yarn Socketta. They are very warm and I know truly know how to work the heel without any problems !!

It feels good to have finished the first pair an I am working on the second pair from yarn my wife got me for Christmas. I will be posting pictures of them once I get them done.

Well here is the first sock finished and now I am ready to start the second sock. Once I get this post finished I will be starting the second sock so that I have a pair of socks to wear. The yarn is a cotton, wool, nylon blend so it can be run through the washing machine :)

The pattern is not so bad now that I know what I am doing with it!

Here is the left and right side of the first sock made from the yarn by Plymouth called Socketta. I am hoping to get this one done and the next one started before the weekend! It does not help that I work 40 hours a week and have a wife who, imagine this, would like some of my time. I love her and of course she knows I am trying to get these done.

I finally figured out what I was missing when looking at the directions here is where I found the sock pattern and a big thanks to the person on one of my lists that sent me the link so that I could look the pattern up :) Click here. I figured out that what the pattern was telling me would not work because it put the heel at the side of the sock!! Once I got around that and figured out with the help from a knitting site my wife subscribes to I was right in that I needed to go back and forth over the same area it worked out wonderfully. Now it is just getting both done so I can wear them !

Here is my sock at the point of turning the heel. Now if I can just figure out how I am doing that from the pattern!!
