I'm happy to say I finish my sock of the season! I started to knit this pair of socks few week ago, but never post anything to let you know I started >_<

When i saw Nona post the Sidewinder sock pattern, back when it was still summer. I knew I wanted to knit a pair, but never got around to starting, but when i got the yarn from Laura I thought it was time to start! I actually finish one sock around Halloweens and thought it look creepy and different. It took me a few try to get the grafting perfect! I took it out like 4 times for the first sock, before it actually close correctly. I think grafting is one of those things that i need to research a little bit more. Right now I can only graft seam that are knitted with slip stitches. Otherwise I get confuse and the knitted fabric comes out unaligned.

This was a fun pattern to knit. The direction was excellent and the text was fun to read! Everything makes sense, and the gauge came out perfectly. I like how Nona divided the sock in to section. My favorite part was knitting the toes, and how the heel increase/decrease are work.

I plan to knit another pair of sock with the same method/directions Nona wrote, but i want to try it with a lace stiches instead of plain Stockinette and Garter stitch. At some point i wanted to knit the second pair as a kneed sock, so it i could wear it during the winter in Florida with some skirts. As of now I'm scare to attempt it.-_- I loose count when the cast on has too many stitches! It took me 4 tries and 2 out of four i had my boyfriend count the stitches for me. Imagine casting on a kneed high sock, it would be like 500 stitches or more! ugh someone cast one for me please!
