Day 1: Actually started on these socks yesterday. Took the picture this morning. I had a little trouble with the figure eight cast on at first. My fingers were all thumbs and my hands were hurting that it made it hard for me to try and knit. So I put my knitting down for about an hour.
After resting my hands I came back to my knitting and was able to get the figure eight cast on to work on the first sock. However, by the time I had got 29 stitches cast on both needles (for a 58 stitches), I needed to stop and start cooking dinner.
Then after dinner I went back to my knitting and finished casting on the remaining stitches. I ended up with the 66 stitches that the medium pattern called for and then started working on the diagonal pattern design.
I put my knitting down finally at 11:01 pm last night with only the first sock cast on, with the first pattern repeat finished. Then this morning I cast on, usingin the figure eight cast on again for the mate. I didn't seem to have any problems with the cast on this morning.
I continued knitting on the second sock until I had all 66 stitches and the first pattern repeat finished. Now I can just work back and forth on both socks. I need to knit on the foot until I have 6 1/2 inches before I start on the gusset.
Onwards and Upwards!
