All Done

For better or for worse, they are done. I even started to get the hang of it all by the end. Next time, I might even be able to do the same color at the same time.....but that might be pushing it *wink*

thanks for the motivation to try, try again

SOCKS DONE

Ok one problem I thought they would be to small and here my Mother In Law who is a sixe 8 can fit in them...Amanda is a 6...so my mother in law MIGHT end up with socks lol haa haa.

Here they are>>>>>>>>>

going up the legs

As you can see I am going upward.. But for some reason,, I am loosing my drive. I decided to pick a pattern from Wendy Johnson's new book. Sock from the Toe Up, which I got a few weeks ago. I chose the Diagonal Lace pattern.. It's only 10 rows and knit every other.and for some reason it's been a challenge for me.
I already know that these socks are going to be BIG,,, but I will have to worry about that later. I just want to get to the top. I found another skein of koigu in the same colorway, so I would like to make them longer. I usually do the shortest sock I can do.
And after doing more than half of this sock on circulars together.. I must confess. I had to separate them and now I am doing them one at a time.. this was after I was frustrated because I was knitting with the wrong ball on the wrong sock for a couple of rows... I thought by now I would be use to all the needles and be able to keep them straight. It hasn't been so easy for me.. I think I will make my next socks.. magic loop.. at least I won't get the needles mixed up♥

I'm finally getting somewhere

but I'm getting close to that heel turn EEK!!!! I can't imagine how I'm going to manage. *sigh* oh well, at least I can document it, right?

finally back at the socks

I have been in such a blah mood about my socks. Think it was after I posted the last post showing the mistakes on the cuff of one of them. NOrmally I'd frog it back and fix it but this time I didn't so I just put them down and left them.
Just seeing Vanessa's and Cici's progress on their socks gave me the umpf I needed to get back at them. Hopefully the umpf will stay with me for a while!!

Ack

life got so crazy last week, I forgot to post about socks here. I did on my blog..but bloody little that does for here, huh?

I love how everyone's are looking.

I gave up with the thin sock yarn and doing it in similar colors....so I am using patons classic and sock yarn coupled together to make a set of fraternal twin socks. That has totally helped. Here's what I did last Wednesday while I was at the er with D. Or was it Tuesday? Like I remember! She's good, ct scan clear, and the dizziness subsided over the weekend, PTL.......and then I got busy knitting my mom's mother's day gift. I wouldn't want to push it to the wire or anything! Bwahahahahahahahaha. Yeah, I'm past that, but I'm still plugging along. It's been too sunny to knit. I've been OUTSIDE. Rain is pending, so hopefully once I catch up on the inside work, I can hit the socks again!

Heels Done

I am ready to start on the legs. It looks like it's going to be big. I hope washing will help.
