Making Progress

CAJ 50th 105


I was away this past week and I was able to get some good knitting in. It takes some getting use to the both needles. I had to put two different needles to make it easier. I kept picking up the wrong one. I am almost ready to turn the heel. I will take another photo when I have completed that part♥

look at my boo boo's





do you see the holes in my ribbing and a few rows down? Don't know how I got that on just one little sock but there it is. I think I will just fix it after they are done.

Does anyone know what I did to make the boo boo.?

Update


wow. I'm seeing some great looking starts.

Patt - thanks for showing us how you are keeping things straight...I just may take you up on some of those ideas.

I'll be honest...I've been way too emotionally strung out (ie highly ticked off) to give it another shot. I would have already thrown the yarn out by now. Even my easy knitting is making me mad. Why? Because I was ALREADY mad.

Now, I'm sure y'all have been there and done that. Knit on you fearless women. May I be able to rejoin your ranks next week!

Back on Track



Ok I have cast back on and started paying lots more attention to what I'm doing.

First on the right hand side is a blue stitch marker. That denotes (for me) my starting of my sock and also that this is the first sock knit on or sock #1(see angled arrow).

And on the left side (see straight arrow) that shows the sock I am working on at the moment by being on the needle. That way I know which sock to work on when I pick it up again.

And the little white stars mark the chicken stitchmarkers that I am using to show myself the middle of each sock so later on I won't have to count out the stitches.

What are you all doing to keep things straight in your heads?

Try, Try, Again


I started again, on different yarn this time. I didn't like the malabrigo. Now I am using Koigu this time, mainly because I had already pre wound it. I am using one addi lace 47 inch. It takes some getting use to the cord twisting. I think once I get further, it might be easier.
Wish me luck
