!!!FFO (First Finished Object)!!!

i can proudly say that i am posting my first FO on this blog. and i've had it for what, a year? i've finished other things since i started this little site up but nothing i've mentioned on here or that's worth mentioning in general. i completed this guy last week but this is the first chance i've had to put it up.

without further ado, the sock!

i have pretty gross feet/ankles but you get the general idea. the fabric created by this yarn is way thicker than what i generally like when i wear socks (which isn't often - i'm a barefoot kinda girl) and made my foot get kinda sweaty in the time it took for me to snap a few photos.

will you look at that delicious striping? i love it.! the grey/green parts almost look like faux intarsia. overall the yarn is heathery in nature which looks really nice close up.

now that i've completed this sock and feel confident enough in my sockmaking abilities i'm going to forego this guy's mate and get right to making the real pair of socks one of my friends requested. though he has a size 13 foot (mine are a 7.5 in guy's sizes) so i'm going to have to be creative in altering the pattern....
