black coffee feelin' low as the ground

Yay! I finished the first of Crazy Lady's socks last night.They needed to fit me since she and I have the same sized foot.And you can see from my red walls why my pictures look red. In any case, I did an afterthought heel for the first time ever, which came out okay, considering I didn't know what I was doing.This was one skein of Artyarns Supermerino and it's the first time I've made socks with worsted weight. I know it pooled, but I liked the pooling. I used size 6 needles, but someone I spoke with says she got no pooling with size 5s, so it's a deliberate effect. And I cast on for the second one to avoid SSS. I made up the pattern but it looks like you could do something similar with the sock pattern in Weekend Knitting.

I leave you today with this rather disturbing story about expensive coffee. I had to throw out the rest of my coffee after reading it. Fair warning.
