First darn (and first time using a darning loom) (slrpnk.net)

At first the yarn felt a bit thick, but after walking around in it for a little bit I forgot about it. And it was a bit hard to get the thick needle through the sock. The actual weaving went very smoothly.

Thanks! Hoping to try some color patterns soon, though that looks like it involves sewing in a lot more ends.

From what you've done already, you have patience: your work is very even and even-tensioned. You should be really proud of yourself :)
