Bitten by the bug

Sock but that is.  lol  I cast on for another pair of socks on 2 circulars.  This one I'm using Malabrigo sock yarn in Impressionist Sky colorway.  It's really nice to knit with, soft and pretty.
I've got about 2 inches done on the leg so far.
What have you all got on your needles?  Anyone else making socks again???

Want to start on some new socks

I'm getting the itch to start some new socks from the book, "knitting circles around socks".
Hopefully others will want to knit them with me. Let me know if you do, I'll add you to this blog so you can post too!

My attempt at knitting with 2 circulars didn't go too well. Tonight I am finishing piggy gloves for my DGD to wear tomorrow to school. It is supposed to snow soon! I ordered addi 40" needles that I hope will make things easier. We'll see.

Done

I enjoyed knitting 2 socks at a time. I really finished them about a week. I washed then yesterday and they are still big, oh well. I even put them in the dryer, hoping they would shrink some. No luck.
Since completing these, I have found out lots of things I wish I had done after the fact. So I am ready to try another pair to get a better fit. First of all, 64 total stitches was to many for these socks, I think it was because of the Koigu and using size 2 needles. Next time I will use size 1 for this yarn.

I will do toe up socks again. The biggest problem I seem to have is with the bind off. I had to redo it a couple of times. The best result was with a needle several sizes larger. Now that I'm finished I have found a better bind off, so I will do it on my next pair.. Elizabeth Zimmermans stretchy bind off. Looks easy and I think it will do the trick.
One way or the other I am going to get the perfect pair of socks. I have come to the conclusion that I can enjoy the Journey as well as the destination♥

ready to do heel part

Altho the pattern says to knit the cuff for 7 inches, I'm ready to start the heel part now. I have very short legs and feet so I only want a cuff part that is around 4 inches. I just wanted to post so you all will know that I'm still working on my socks.
