One sock at a time

W4 orked hard today and finished my son's sock after measuring his foot. I knit until the foot measured 1 1/2 inches less than his foot. I had this idea that if your foot was 10 inches long than it was a size 10. Wrong. A 10 1/2 inch foot is a size 9 for men. Does that make any sense? After weaving in the ends I had him try it on and it was a perfect fit. It does pay off to measure because I would have knit it a little bit short.

Now the second sock has about 4 inches knit on the leg and it's a fun night of knitting ahead. Socks Rule!
