First Socks Finally

I finally finished those socks I started six months ago the other day.  I must say, it was incredibly satisfying to get over second sock syndrome and get those done.  They aren’t my favorite, they are pretty boring, but I think I did a good job and I’m proud of them.  Now I am so ready for an exciting sock pattern, with a challenge.  I’m thinking about tackling this pair from knitty called Outside In.  They are very pretty and I have some pretty blue sock yarn that would be great for them.  That’s something I’m really trying to do, use up some of my stash.  I don’t have a job yet (argh) so I don’t want to go crazy buying all sorts of yarn I don’t need.  My exception to that rule is that I can make things for Madeline with new yarn. 

While I’m on the subject, here are some new pictures of Madeline, along with my first socks.  Enjoy!
