who's afraid of socks?

This goes out to Glenda...I made a sock!

A bit of history...
After I taught Glenda the basics of knitting, she went on to tackle feats of strength-- such as badass socks, intricate baby blankets, a baby's thumper jumper, and cabled sweaters (but not for boyfriends)-- while I stayed in the land of knit 2, purl 2. I had convinced myself I didn't like to count, and was happy to knit scarves, toques, and legwarmers.

But now, wanting a bit of adventure, I ventured to make a sockette. With the mini sock pattern by Jackie E-S, I faced my fears and started small. :)

Just starting the heel...

...starting the toe (I was beginning to taste the victory)...

...Voila!
