Today was a new day. Today I made my first ever sock! I went with a simple pattern called Easy Peasy Socks! http://www.freshstitches.com/free-knitting-pattern-easy-peasy-socks-beginner/
I did find it a very easy pattern to follow. It calls for a worsted weight yarn which is fantastic for me. I don't really have any sock weight yarn in my stash. I do know what I'd change for my next pair however. I'd use a smaller DPN for the ribbing on the cuff. And I'd make sure to take better care in placing my markers. When I started doing my decreases at the toe I came out lob sided on my first sock.
But I'm okay with that. It's my first sock I've ever made, and there will always be trial and error in life some times. So for my day 3 of Cast On Mania I will be casting on the second sock to finish off the pair.
