sock on needles!

so since no one offered to help me wind the yarn i did it myself, the old fashioed way. i hung the skein across the no parking sign us uually use to hang up my coat, and wound it off...very slowly.

but the ball turned out ok and i cast on instead of doing my homework tonight :) isnt the color neat! i just can't get over it!

and check out that picot edge! not bad for my first ever provisional cast on and picot hem. woo hoo. having so much fun!!!
