Did it!

I've finally turned out a sock that looked pretty good. I used worsted weight yarn on #8 needles. Unfortunately my guage swatch was done on #6 needles that I thought were #8s...don't ask me how...so the sock was rather loose. But who would wear worsted weight socks anyway?

Finished up with a rather cool looking cuff of horizontal ribbing, rather like the Michelin Man, but the whole business stayed in place in spite of the large guage.

Sportweight is next, to see if I've really "got it". If it looks spiffy enough, it might turn out to be the Knitty sock. I'd have to get some current yarn for the final version, but hey! Simple and fun is a good thing.
