Wedge: Cast Off and Final Thoughts

It's finished!  And beautiful!  And comfy!

Socks!

Check out that garter stitch short row toe.

Yeah, garter stitch short row heel. 

It's me!  I accidentally dyed my hair really red.  

Don't bother trying to look up my skirt, perv.

I'm pretty sure this is probably the easiest sock in the book and I'm okay with that.  The look of the sock is so nice that I don't think the difficulty matters.  The end result is a comfortable sock that you can wear any time.  The garter stitch adds some cushion to the heel, ball, and toe section of the foot.  

Overall, this is a pretty awesome sock.  It'd make a nice children's and men's sock too!

Wedge: The First Sock

Woo!  The first sock is complete!

This sock took absolutely no time at all.  I started the sock on Tuesday and finished Saturday night.  I absolutely love this pattern.  Besides Monkey, I'd say this is probably one of her easiest patterns.  I had no trouble reading the instructions and really enjoyed the short rows.

I had never used short rows in a sock that wasn't a part of the heel or toe shaping.  They made the time fly by.  I typically don't like projects that are only knit and purl; too boring and cannot hold my attention.  But the short rows held my attention and I was able to suffer through the twelve rows of knit only.
