An Exercise in Futility….

Coworker and I went to a LYS during lunch today and I bought two US size 1 addi Turbo needles. Since I had a dinner guest, I couldn’t try the Magic Cast-On for Toe-Up socks until right before bed time. I picked up some extra yarn and the needles and gave it a shot. Here is the RS of the first twenty stitches. [sorry so blurry]

Here is the WS of first twenty stitches.

QUEE!!! So excited that I was able to do that. I’ll spend the next couple of days practicing getting started with that cast-on and then I’ll start doing the real thing.Since I pulled out the camera to take good shots of the sock cast-on, I decided to take better photos of the Noni purse. Here is the bottom of the bag:

And here is the body of the bag (rows 12 of 80 done thus far):

Again - so excited. It was all I could do to not jump up and down on the bed.

The boys were thrilled too.
