Woo Hoo! I finished some stuff!

I finished a scarf for the Red Scarf Project late last night. (It's made with Lion's Brand Homespun in Candy Apple.) On the left is a picture of it, all folded neat and nice, right before I boxed it up and sent it to the post office.

This afternoon I finished my very first pair of socks!!!! Woo Hoo! {okay, so I guess you can tell I get sorta excited when stuff comes off the needles, huh!} They aren't the prettiest things in the world, but I learned a whole bunch about sock knitting.

Notice the one on the top is sort of covering up the middle part of the 'bad' first sock I knitted! The bad sock has a few flaws in it, like when I knitted two rows upside down! Not kidding. I was sooo excited after I got the first gusset done - which turned out to be completely wrong, but hey, I didn't know it at the time - somehow I got all turned around and knitted two rows with the work on top of the needles instead of hanging under them like a good sock is supposed to do. What was I thinking, I sure don't know!? So the 'bad' one has a funny-looking garter stripe going around it. But, hey, I'm still really happy to have finished this pair, so now I can get started on some that might end up less flawed!

I would have to say that knitting the heel is probably my favorite part.
