It only took about a year and a half of very sporadic knitting (with no knitting done for about a year in the middle), but I have my first sock. I'm not sure I love this pattern with this yarn, and my fat calves stretch it out a bit, but overall I'm happy. Now the goal is not not fall victim to the second sock syndrome.
Pattern: Embossed Leaves, Interweave Knits Winter 2005

And, since I finally got around to uploading pictures, I thought I'd share this one from a few months back of sunset from our apartment.
