This pair was knitted for my partner to sleep in on cold winter nights. I made a mistake on the pattern on the first sock. You can see it on the one on the top that it pulls in a little at the gusset. I also learned how to close the toes with Kitchener stitch. Great socks except that the yarn pills too much.
I LOVE knitting socks!

The one on the lower left is the first sock done in a sock class. I was on medication for a lingering cough at that time and couldn’t remember exactly how I got it done. Few mistakes were made and Heather, my teacher, helped with correcting them. The second sock was left for me to complete at home. I think it came out great! They fit my feet perfectly. Although I would have preferred to knit them a little small so that they hug my feet a little tighter.
