Day 1: (Actually last night) This pattern called for using either a Turkish cast-on, Figure 8 cast-on, or a Judy's Magic cast-on. Since I have never done either of these cast-on's, I choose the Judy's Magic cast-on. I had read on Ravelry that it was a fairly easy cast on to try, so off I went to try it out.
Now, I'm left handed and my knitting is actually backwards compared to a right handed knitter. So when I went to try Judy's Magic cast-on, it was very awkward to knit (no problems with the wraping the yarn around the needles). I think I pulled it off the needles 4 times last night before I finally got it knitted right.
Once I had the first row knitted, the adding stitches at the beginning and end of both needles wasn't a problem. After 1 hour and 36 minutes of knitting I had the toe and the first pattern repeat (4 rows), finished.
Now, I just need to start on the mate and get it caught up with this sock. Onwards and upwards from here on in. LOL
