CSM ......progress finally :-)

I've been trying for what seems like eons to get a completed pair of socks from this cantankerous sock machine, and voila finally a completed pair of socks!! Eureka it all came together.

The tension is a little loose, but all in all they are comfy, hopefully they will shrink a little bit when washed.

This is a sock that I actually had done ribbing on and was all the way done, but the last row after shortrowing the toe, I dropped a stitch and didn't even realize it till I was done with the waste yarn, so had to undo the whole thing. Darn it!!!!

I have to say tho, that the ribbing part was super easy, just have to keep practicing and it'll become easier much like the shortrowing is.

I am going to look for an old booklet I had which had a pattern for a gusset heel that I did on a flat bed knitter with ribber using circular knitting. Turned out to be real easy and the heel looked hand knit, plus I hear they are better all the way around. I figure if I can do it on a flat bed I should be able to do it on the CSM. right????
