Sunday Swing Sock

down to the foot portion of the 1st sock and everything seems to be coming along smoothly, i was a bit worried when i read the pattern for the heel gusset. i had to take it very slow an check my work often to keep on top of when i needed to decrease and when i needed to work the pattern over the foot since they were on different counts.
i have also been working on a cardigan that im very exited about as it is getting cold here and i have never knit myself a sweater, well mostly it was because i was a larger size and it would have been much more expensive to make a garment that size, but now that i have lost weight i think this will be the 1st of many more sweaters.
the pattern is from a leisure arts #75132 Touchable Knits cover cardigan. i may end up finishing my cardigan before emily's socks, i mostly work on the socks when im out and work on the cardigan at home, and it may be that the cardigan is knit with homespun.

walmart has some vana's choice on clearance and i think ill go get some more to work up some sweaters i have saved on lion brand and ravelry. i bought 4 skeins of a dark green and i may go back to pick up some other colors.
