So I decided last night that the perfect gift for my Secret (nondenominational) Santa were knitted socks.  If you have followed this blog for a while, you may recall that I never showed you the end of my last pair of first socks.  Ahem.  So it’s my new first pair of socks!  In time for a Friday gift exchange!  I opted for a heavier slipper sock, so I’m knitting on US7 needles, so it’s not toothpick knitting.  And when you stay up all night, it turns out you can nearly finish a sock an evening!

I just have an inch or so to start the toe!  I’m using a beautiful ‘vintage’ skein of Farmhouse, and it’s turning out lovely, if I do say so.  It even matches my little succulent garden!  Now I just have to get through the toe…
