Sock progress!
Long trip in cars are great for knitting, except that I tend to get a sore back if I do it for more than an hour. Even so, by taking long breaks and knitting while I was at the weekend’s event I managed to get a lot done on the beau’s sock. Last night I finished the first one.
I’m going to call these the Miracle Socks. Why? Well, I haven’t had to frog one row. I measured up the beau’s feet, did the math, began knitting, checked the math, kept knitting, did the occasional fitting, and somehow managed to get them right first try.
This is the first sock I’ve knit for the beau, and I got it right first go. That’s just… freaky.
Wow – you got stash, and the miracle sock? In black? That is enough miracle for me! I’d shrivel up and die if I had to knit back socks….
(BTW, the best deal I’ve found with sock yarn so far is Wondo’s said they would give me a 5% discount on 100 balls of heirloom sock yarn, which is the same as Patonyle as far as I can tell)
Actually the miracle sock is a tweedy green. It doesn’t photograph well – at least not at this distance on a typical Melbourne winter day!
