I did it!!! I knit socks!!!
Thank you again secret pal for the lovely book and supplies! These are my attempt at the 'class sock' from the Sensational Knitted Socks book, on two size 1 circs, in peaches and cream cotton (had some sitting around, so I thought I would practice with it)!!I did notice that my gage was different for the second sock, but I don't know why. The second sock is a tad tighter and smaller than the first, but at this point I don't really care! I'm just jazzed that I (lil miss can't-walk-and-chew-gum) was able to knit a pair of socks! WOO HOO!!!
And as an added bonus, I think they will fit the new baby by next winter!

VERY well done!!!
My gauge was different, too, for the first few pairs of socks I knit. And it's really obvious when the socks are smaller. I also noticed that I got better with the keeping the gauge consistent as I made more and more socks. Now I knit two socks on two circs, so gauge isn't a problem.
Congrats on finishing your first socks!
