and, speaking of sox . . .

Posted on Posted in projects, Uncategorized

ok, i have to do this real quick before classes.
talking about starting a new pair of sox got my blood running yesterday, so, before it got TOO late last night, i went upstairs and did it

ay, ay, ay—look at that uneven, loose knitting! i used my size twos, remembering that this yarn knitted up too thick the last time i had it on the needles.
ri-i-i-ght—i must’ve been smokin’ crack.

so into the bag they go to bring to class for a re-do. i may as well use them to give a tutorial on starting a toe-up sock . . .

i’m also going to tote along the newest manLace project—obstacles—and get some inches added to that (my additional yarn is in the mail, so now i can go for it).

and the barking sox? well, they got a few rows added too (lots of files to upload yesterday evening)

i worked really late, to get caught up on the time i lost during hours of troubleshooting
yesterday, sooo . . .

that’s all the knitting i have today! however, a nice prize was awarded over at the Red Sweater KAL—go take a look and give the winner a comment .

  1. and what happened to the toe up tutorial today? little tooo carried away with the shawl of buttah?

  2. Hi Anne!
    How’s life in the big city?? I like that green sock. It looks like the same color as the slime on the rocks in the tide pools in San Felipe, Mex! I know that doesn’t sound like a compliment, but it totally is!!! I am on the porcupine part of my sangria skirt (which I love still!!!), and it’s looking awesome!!! Can’t wait to make another. And red yarn is on its way for my red cardigan….but dare I join the KAL???? commitments, commitments……..

  3. The sad thing is it wouldn’t take crack for me to make that mistake. A few glasses of wine and that memory would be history! I once struggled to begin a cotton intarsian project and just could not get the intarsia to work right. My friends at the knitting retreat with me said maybe it was the wine. I said, “Oh no, I wasn’t drinking but a glass or two” ever so demurely. A few weeks later I tried the intarsia in the afternoon stone cold sober. Not a problem in sight. Wine? What wine?

  4. Don’t you hate when you have to start a sock over! Oh well, guess it’s all for the best in the end….

    The barking sock is really neat looking – the color!!!
