No Fear! A Journey for My Foot...My First Sock Experience

I got what I asked for for Christmas, my Harmony 4" DPN for Socks...in 6 sizes...as well as my Harmony Options Interchangeable Needles...which I love! So I decided to purchase some yummy sock yarn and make a few pairs...like 5...which I may either keep for myself or give away...haven't decided...I did purchase the colorways that I love though...so I may just have to buy more sock yarn! Knitpicks has beautiful colorways that are very affordably priced...

So anyway...the pattern I picked was Waterfall...and as it turns out it is a toe-up pattern (which I like since you can't run out of yarn before you finish!) but it was kinda complicated to figure out at first...but I mastered it! My motto is No Fear! I just jump in and see what I can do...I'll never know unless I try!

I've been taking pictures every day to show my progress...which sometimes doesn't seem like a whole lot when I'm using size 0 needles! It's like working with toothpicks!

So here is my sock after I did my magic cast-on:


This is the following night when I completed 4 of the pattern repeats:


And as of last night this is how much was accomplished:


So far I'm loving it!!
