Long Sock

Thanks to my fren, who wanted me to knit a long sock for her. I have never done a long sock in my entire life but thought to indulge in one. Hence, I set my journey of knitting one. I have not written the pattern line by line for now. But I did take notes :) So, I might come out with a written pattern soon
