Thank you all for sharing your wonderful "first sock" stories!
Still under the weather here, and Dave is working then off to a hockey game, so it's still couch, cats and resting for me.
I took the opportunity to finish up a few things that have been piling up over the month. Aeolian is blocking...
As you can see, Tux has taken over inspection duties while the regular inspector (Rocky) is napping.
I finished up the handspun socks I started on New Year's Eve.
Just slightly fraternal. I used yarn spun by Smoking Hot Needles, and black House Cat for the heels and toes.
And, I sewed some buttons on the Tea Leave's cardigan
Some of you may note that those are, indeed, not the buttons I was planning on. The lovely copper blossoms did arrive, but sadly, were a smidge too small. These are buttons I got from the Woodlot last year. They match well and I still have seven buttons left for another cardigan. I'll find another use for the copper buttons, don't worry!
And now, I'm left with a decision... finish another WIPs (likely the embossed leaves socks), work on a new design, or cast on for the Stray Cat shawl.....

Love those buttons too.
We have finally had a cool enough breeze down here to wear some handspun socks and I say yours are yummy. Also love the shawl and buttons.
The socks look so warm! Great choice of buttons. They match perfectly.
I love the buttons!
You're just buzzing away and transforming those WIPs into FOs. I love the shawl.
The buttons look good. Sucks the other ones were too small though.
Although I can only see a bit of the shawl as it is being blocked, it looks absolutely beautiful. What gorgeous lace work!!!
Oh, the buttons are perfect for the sweater. Another beautiful piece!!
