I've been house bound because of the snow so it was a good time to settle down and just knit. I finished one sock yesterday and the other today. My elbows are a little sore. I've decided I don't like the one circular needle method (Magic Loop) and think I will stick to double pointed needles. Even on the DP, I made a couple of mistakes. Usually I can watch TV at the same time as knitting but this pattern needed more concentration on my part. Overall they look pretty good although they are a little loose. I'm thinking about throwing them into the washing machine (not the dryer) hoping to shrink them.
I don't have another project lined up because I really need to reduce my stash and start knitting little things from that. Wrist warmers are next.

Love your socks Stacey! I finished my sock 1 and am quite happy with it!
ReplyDeletegreat socks!
ReplyDeleteand post those stash-reducing ideas - I've been trying to do one-skein projects because of a great yarn shop with all this tempting (expensive) yarn. But truly, how many scarves can I knit? All my friends have scarves, I have a billion...
doing a bag to felt for a friend now (3 skeins I think).
