socks and presents

A couple of days ago I tried to make my first sock. Everything went fine until it came time to make the gusset, then I got confused. Fortunately my mother requested a scarf and hat for an early birthday present (she's going to Alaska for a few days) so I have another half a day for my brain to subconsciously decode the pattern. It probably would have been smarter for me to do a small baby sock instead of throwing myself into the size 2 needles Sockotta pattern, but oh well, that's just how I do things. Most of the time it turns out right in the end.
