Well, wonders never cease around here — somehow this cute yarn managed to take on the form of a completed sock! I’m so relieved!

Actually, it all came together much more smoothly than I’d feared. You all were right — turning the heel really was easy. Picking up stitches for the gusset was a tad worrisome, but it all worked out fine. And thanks to The Knitter’s Book of Finishing Techniques, using the kitcheners stitch to graft the toe area shut was no problem.

The only part that I’m less than entirely pleased with is the ribbing around the cuff. It’s way too loose. So, I’ve cast on for the second sock, and I will attempt to make those ribbed stitches more snug this time.
