The brown sock is my first ever. What is wrong with the picture? Yes, the sock is inside out. I could not figure out how to kitchener the toe, so I just cobbled it together. The lightbulb moment came when I was knitting my second pair of socks. No wonder the kitchener stitch didn't work! [Edit: the photo is in the comments. Second edit: and below. Facepalm.]

The pink socks are my WIP - I have progressed to knitting two at a time, magic loop, and am very pleased with myself.
