Over two years ago I started these socks, one skein of Opal in “BumbleBee”, two at a time, top-down on two circs. Yeah, try wrestling with taking the yarn from two ends, it was not the funnest project to start up.
So…I knit down about 4 inches and stopped…two years ago. Wow…talk about mental block on that project.
Well, I’ve finished two other pairs of socks this week and decided to jump back into my BumbleBee buddies. I also went back to my trusted doublepoint needles. I did pickup a pair of Size US 2 in the shorter, 6″ inch sock length on Friday when the girls and I went to Weaving Works in Seattle.
I’m just a few inches away from getting to toe decreasing on sock #1. Wish me luck.
You are the sock machine! These look wonderful. I need to learn that circular needle method. Last night I had to frog the same sock 3 times because I kept dropping stitches so often. Aaack! I discovered that my Secret Pal 7 is Whimsical Wool. I’m not going to tell her though because it might ruin it for her. Did you ever receive anything? If not then there is always a possibility that your package was held up at customs. Hopefully your spoiler will drop a note and inquire, etc. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. We’re doing taxes and drywall… it’s a toss up as to which is worse!
You go girl! I am in a sock phase as well. I just finished up a pair in handspun (by my SIL) purple merino blend. I have a pair for the Knitting Olympics and then on to Sockapalooza!
I love that combo of colors…Great job on the socklets and getting these done too! A UFO soon to becoming a FO
