It is finished!

I have at last finished the first sock, so both socks are now done. And here's something special. I added something in duplicate stitch. This is a big hint as to the recipient!
I also received my socks from my pal Lisa B. They are wonderful cotton socks, and I love them lots!

And in late breaking news, I discovered that another of the Greater St Louis Knitters' Guild members, Gwen, is also a sockapaltwoza participant! Nice socks Gwen
