Socks: First Attempt

I bought a skein of Regia yarn yesterday in an attempt to knit a pair of socks. It's my first time to try a yarn this thin. Worse, with size 2 needles. I am so not used to that and it just felt uncomfortable. I couldn't seem to make the cuff right although my swatch seems to give me the right gauge. Sucks. I knew that if I continue any further, my interest in knitting will go kapoof!

So today, I went to the yarn store to buy the book that I so wanted to buy yesterday --- Knit Socks! It has patterns that call for worsted-weight yarns and bigger sized needles. So together with the book, I also bought 1 skein of jet black Cascade 220 yarn and a set of Brittany needles size 3.

I am almost done with my first leg now. Yey! I love how smooth and even my stitches are and how perfect the size is for my husband's feet!
