Socks

I started a pair of generic 2 x 2 ribbed socks on October 23. I finished the first sock on Monday night and finished the second sock this evening (we've been doing a lot of riding around Ireland on a bus). I cast on 72 sts and used a 2.5mm needle for the legs and went down to 2.25mm for the rest as I wanted a nice, firm fabric for the foot.
Skip obliged me by being my sock model.  Dontcha think he did a great job?
Tomorrow is our knitting workshop with Carol Feller here at the hotel in Killarney. I believe we'll be working with her book, Contemporary Irish Knits. Wheeee!!!
