Done Part Two...

I did it. I made it to the end of the lace sock. Once again I had a small issue since I needed more yarn than what was in the ball that I had. Trying to remember if I had cut anything off the ball when I started for the Fourth time, but I doubt that I did. Thankfully I had thought ahead and found an extra ball on Ravelry - in the same dye lot - for the second sock since the very first ball I used got a bit shortened when I had to rip out the entire sock the first time and I was worried that something like this would happen. So to help me finish the first sock I had to use the ball of yarn that I had rerolled - rewound? - and find the section of color that I was currently using and go from there. It came out really great.

Here are some pretty pictures for you ..

I totally love the details.. So many people have asked if the lacework is actually a cable. It's not. It's just the way that the pattern went.

I'm jonesing to start the second sock.. but I'll wait till tomorrow.. It's probably going to be a(nother) Snow Day and it's already getting pretty late.

Time for bed.. maybe before I start the second sock I'll make myself some check off charts since this was a nightmare of a pattern to follow and it was written completely wrong in many many places. My notes are all over the pattern and I need to streamline them somehow or there will be major hairpulling, screaming and screeching going on otherwise. Plus I'll already know how many times I need to do the repeats and where I need to go in the pattern to get it all done correctly the First time... or so I can hope.
