Lace Panel Socks - You mean I have to make two?

Here is my first sock (you can click on the picture for a nice big closeup)! That's right, I haven't finished the second one (I'm not even close!!) but I'm very proud of the one I have. A friend hooked me up with some very nice washable merino wool but it was VERY fine. I fortunately had a pattern in my copy of Patons' Pull Up Your Socks! that worked when I held both colors together. The Lace Panel Socks pattern is beautiful and I'm really pleased with how this one came out.

I was always afraid that making a sock would be really difficult and that I couldn't do it, but I was surprised how easy it was! You do have to be used to double pointed needles, but there were no scary moments. I did have to undo rows a few times but that was my fault for not paying close attention to the pattern and/or trying to watch TV at the same time.

I'm not sure if I have enough yarn to make a second pair or not. It looks like there's enough to make 10 pair but I think I'll go blind from using the size 1 needles!
