That's right, sock singular.

For a while, I've been thinking of making a pair of knee socks. Since I now have an eight-to-five and half of my wardrobe bottoms are skirts, I thought that I could wear my skirts even in the dead of our winter if I had knee socks. And yes, of course, I could buy them, but I could also knit them.

I haven't yet decided if I want to knit just plain old tall socks or something elaborate like Knitty's Clessidra. In the meantime, though, I decided to follow this pattern just to see how it would turn out. Since this was a test and nothing that I was actually going to wear, I used what left over yarn I had from my Thermal, which is why there's only one sock. I didn't have enough to make two.

Onward.

Look at that awesome hole! I forgot one of the most important rules of knitting in the round: always slip the last stitch over the first stitch when beginning a new section to avoid holes.

The back, where you can sort of see the giant V made by the increases.

Little bitty ribbing.

Since I'm starting school and also have a full-time job, two children, and a husband, probably I won't have time to do the more elaborate socks, if I even have time to do socks at all. But I like the one that I made.
