Knitten update

I've been knitting my first ever sock (it's Trekking XXL yarn on 2.25mm needles, if you care about those kinds of details, I actually don't so I don't even know why I wrote them down) since just before the Victoria Day long weekend. Then finally, a couple of weeks ago, even though I was thoroughly distracted by the above Kitten, I finished knitting sock one:


I still (still) haven't learned how to close the toe (I'm using the Yarn Harlot's book for the sock "recipe", which I totally love, but she doesn't give specific enough closing instructions for a new knitter like me) so it's still on the needles. Which also means I haven't started sock two (I own only one set of sock needles). I hope I don't lose momentum.

Furthermore, I did a lot of the knitting on that sock while travelling... maybe I need to plan another road trip. NYC, anyone?
