Practice Progresses (almost) Perfectly

My Sockapalooza practice sock is going well.

I believe this was taken after all the gusset decreases were completed. I am at the start of the decreases for the toe now. I would be farther if I could follow directions, which seems to be a problem for me. I forgot to increase my decrease rate after the first few rows so I had to frog back a few rows of the toe.

I am rather proud of the gusset. It was my first time picking up stitches for the gusset and it went pretty well. Only two tries were needed!

My decreases are a little sloppy, which I hope will even out with blocking.

It looks completely different off the foot.


Depending on how the toe looks, I think I am going to start my pal's sock when I am done with this one and do the second sock after I finish my pal's socks. I live in sandals over the summer, so it's not like I plan to start wearing them right away.

Yesterday I took pictures of all my nice yarn in the stash for Ravelry. I had a hard time getting the pictures to come out true to color and ended up playing with a few of them on Picnik, which I discovered through another blogger. Josh kept looking at me like I was nuts then finally asked what I was doing. He still thought I was nuts even after I explained.
