One down, one to go, and another afghan square!

I've got a completed sock! But let's see the progress first.

Here I've turned the heel of the sock. Picking up the stitches wasn't so hard. But with that in mind, I'm intrigued by the pattern that Jacquelynn is using, where you put in a row of waste yarn where the heel will go, knit to the toe, then go back remove the yarn and knit the heel in.

Toe shaped, ready for the Kitchener stitching to close up (using the lovely instructions on knitty.com).


And here it is! Here's the first completed sock. It really wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.




I even got my wife to model the sock, and it certainly looks sockish!



I've produced a new page with all my Sockapalooza stuff on it to make it easy to find. Well, almost all. I still have a few resource links to add.



I've completed another Afghan square. This one is Twisted Lattice. I've had some difficulty with this. While my right twists are nice and tight and even, my left twists aren't. I've tried three different methods to get the left twists to work and I just can't seem to get them nice and even. Any suggestions?
