First Koigu done

I finished the first Koigu sock Friday night. I am most pleased with it - I think it will be very comfortable to wear, too! (I saved this photo with a little bit higher resolution to show off the stitches better. Alas, the photo does not do justice to the beautiful Koigu colors or my knitting.)

I'm within an inch of the heel flap on the second one - yes, I have managed to get some knitting in this weekend!

Also on Friday, I got my replacement cords from Denise's Interchangeable Needles, along with this handwritten note:

Dear Karen,

I'm so sorry for the problem! We've had a few tips break due to bubbles in the plastic, but not two in one kit! We hope you'll accept our humble apology & enjoy these 2 buttons as well.

Thanks for your letter of explanation, which helps us know what's happening with our kits. You shouldn't have to be very careful while knitting, only when sitting on them or letting pets play!

Linda

Very nice, I thought!

I don't know if I'll continue obsessing on the second Koigu sock or if I'll pick up Lochinver again tonight. The weather is starting to get cool, and I'd sure like to have Lochinver done!
