A Day of Two "Firsts"

Progress on the Koigu socks has come to a total standstill - not enough yarn. Eventually may rip it out and try something else.

Today was boring, so it became a day of firsts.

My very first swatch - is the Guernsey yarn for the Grace's Cardigan. Actually came out right on the money! Notice the "Channel Island Cast On" that makes the nice little picots on the edge. Decided to throw those into this just to see if I could do it.



Following that success, I then tried my first "toe up" sock - not too bad for a novice!

You swatched and did a toe up sock??? You deserve a medal. I love how that blue yarn is knitting up. Love the socks so far as well. Did you use that magic cast on?
