The Never Ending Sock!

so i got my beautiful wonder sock loom from dalooms a few months ago. i went out and bought some nice sock weight yearn and i started using it. i didn't want to bite off more than i could chew, so i decided to start with a baby sock. a nice small project that i could (hopefully) get finished quickly. at first, it was VERY hard to use the loom and i was ready to give up. but after getting through the first ten rows or so, it started to get much easier and things started picking up. now, i have the sock to about where i want it to start the heel but i'm stuck. or more accurately, i should say, I'M SCARED!!!!! i'm terrified of taking the loop off the peg and then trying to get it back on. those pegs are super tiny and the space between them is even tinier! i put so much work into this itty bitty sock so far, and it would kill me to ruin it now! so what have i done with this sock over the past month? the answer is NOTHING! its been sitting on my coffee table, unfinished and untouched. i'm frozen. anyways, here are some pics of what i've got done so far:

i'm still working on my christmas presents now and that baby blanket, so i haven't had the urge to mess with this sock. but i don't think i can put it of for much longer...
