I did it...I made a sock! It was much easier than I thought it would be, although I did make a few mistakes here and there. Hopefully I can correct them in the next sock. I have the cuff folded down, because that's the way I like to wear them.
I found the pattern I used and an excellent tutorial at this site. It was amazing...very simple to follow. The yarn I used was Regia Sock Yarn in color 5047. Besides the sock, I've also bound 4 of the 5 tablerunners for Christmas and quilted a baby quilt.
Yesterday was my mom's birthday, so today I gave her the gift I made for her...Judy's first One Hour a Day quilt. She seemed very pleased with it...loved the colors and fabrics as well as the design and said she'll use it in her family room. So...thanks to Judy I have made my mother happy...and I have one warm foot! :o)

Good job with the sock! I don't have time to learn to knit socks but you and Judy are tempting me to try and fit it in!
Congratulations, Sock Woman! Love the color you chose. Can't tell from here that there are any mistakes at all.
What glorious colours that sock is knitted in - make a great quilt! :o)
there's a real sesne of accomplishemnt in finishing someonthing like a sock -- useful, doable, and even our "mistakes" tend not to be large enough errors to keep it from being wearable :-) Congrats on your first one...
Looks just toasty warm. I'm still not brave enought to tackle socks. I haven't mastered flat things ... yet.
Great looking sock, Carolyn!!! Warm feet are happy feet...and so in style!
If you are like me and wear sandels all the time, handknit sox are a perfect item to wear with them in the winter. Good job!
Thanks for the link to the sock tutorial. I have never made socks, but now that I have such good instructions, I just may give it a try. I like the colorful sock you made.
I'll add another THANK YOU to the bunch! I was looking for just this sort of thing. A beginner knitters how to make socks pattern! I'll get some needle and start soon!
The one sock looks fabulous!
