Hey- Socks are halfway there!

We've been knitting along on our socks for three weeks now and we've already had some pairs finished!

Will set up socks for knitting in the round next. I used the Fish Lips Kiss heel pattern as I find I have better success with the heel shaping. Used lifelines at beginning of heels……didn’t need them this time:) " [caption id="attachment_3432" align="alignleft" width="150"] Melissa, Social Media[/caption] [caption id="attachment_3607" align="aligncenter" width="150"] Ready to bind off![/caption] Melissa: "I’m ready  to cast off my first ever sock! Anyone have any tips on the cast off? I’m a pretty tight knitter so I think I’ll use a stretchy one to get the most comfortable fit."

It fits and looks great! Ready to cast on sock #2. I think the short row toe will come much easier the second time around!"
