Socktoberfest takes off!

A bit belatedly, I'm joining in the Socktoberfest brou-ha-ha. Here's the progress on a gift for a very special person in my life. She's related to me even if she is a Christian. So voila: day one of a Christmas stocking! This shows the name section and the beginnings of the first motif (hearts). I suspect this project is NOT metro-able- I am confident about knitting with both hands now, which makes fair isle a breeze, but one ball of yarn flying through a metro car is surely enough. Two is a bit rude. Oh, and as a side note... the red is far more muted in person, it's old-time Christmas not bright-and-childish Christmas. Someday I'll take photos before midnight!
