At 10:43 PM on May 22, 2007, I finished the sock I started on May 11th.  I used Cascade Yarn Sassy Stripes.  After many false starts, I finally got rolling.  I might have even finished on time, but Saturday before the challenge was over, I didn't even look at my knitting bag.  And I forgot to keep track of the hours I spent knitting so don't know exactly how long it took.  The main thing was that it was fun and I'm pleased with how it turned out (except I did end up with those ears on the toes, but since the kitchener stitch is navy, you can't see it).
I started Sock #2 last night.  Since I'd made a few alterations to the sizing and didn't take good notes, I had to start before I forgot what I was doing.  (I guess if I remember now, I could stop knitting long enough to clarify my notes!) I wanted #2 to have basically the same stripe pattern as Sock #1, so had to pull a bunch of yarn out of the skein to get to the right color for the cast-on.
While working on this, my mind kept wandering to the Sassy Stripes in the grey, red and gold colorway.  I'm wondering how that would look......

Very pretty sock! Right, do the 2nd before you forget what you did on the first.
Ha, I beat you, Liz!
Lovely! And I like the hibachi it's resting on. Hurry up and finish the second one!
