Sock progress #3

OK, I know I have been hiding for the last couple of days but I have been busy with a couple of items.

Here is a picture of my sock Sunday night

Sunday night

The little bit of yarn to the right of the sock is what I had left on the ball of yarn that was suppose to make this sock.  I still had to decrease for the toe and knew that I wouldn't have enough.  Now I had two choices of what to do and those were, start the sock over again (not a possibility), have a toe with a different colour or pick up another ball of that yarn.

The choice was made very simple when my husband said that considering he was near a Michael's on Monday for work he could always pick up a ball of yarn for me.  So I put my needles down Sunday night and relaxed because I knew I could finally finish this sock. 

Monday came and I waited patiently for my husband to get home from work.  He did go to Michael's and picked up the ball of yarn that I needed but also picked up three more balls of gray yarn for another pair of socks.  I guess I am going to be knitting socks for a while.

So here is a picture of my sock now.

Yes my sock is FINISHED!!!!!  I know a couple of things that I need to improve on my next sock but considering this is my first one I am extremely happy with it.

Now to start the second sock of this pair before I try another pattern.  To all of those that sent me messages and added comments to my blog I have to say Thank you.  I have finally accomplished this sock and no I am not going to take it out and start over again, that I promise.

I am happy that I finally over came this challenge that has been bothering me for a number of years.  So see if you put your mind to something you can do it and I just proved it.
