So, I'm making these for our sock exchange on the WW KnitWits board. Of course, I haven't posted there in EONS! I can barely keep up with the two threads I post on now as it is. Oh yeah, I'm supposed to post on three. Forgot about that third one!I set aside the afghan of doom to start on these socks. I was gonna make them outta this blue wool sock yarn I bought, but I really didn't thin the color suited the pattern, so I decided to pull the alpaca outta the car from my de-stashing bin and double up on that to make these socks. Well, they don't QUITE look like the picture because it's double stranded yarn, but they look cool non the less!! I'm having a blast making them.
Well, I had to rip the heel. The pattern doesn't say how many stitches to pick up for the gusset, but I think I picked up too many. So, I ripped it out and started that part over. My hands get soooooo tired working with those little needles. I wish I knew how to do them on one circular. I should Google that....hm...
I knitted about 15 min on them this morning, too. It's getting easier to knit them on the DPNs, so I'm making more progress on them. BF just laughs at me and says, "Knit, baby, Knit!" He's so funny. I need to restart his dish cloth to just all knit for right now. The knit then pearl thing gets him confused right now. I miss our knitting nights. Guess I should start them back up again. At least we're there in spirit!! Maybe?? okay
I'm going to take a picture of me first, because I look HAWT today and then my sock in progress ON FOOT as usual. *giggle*
