Here are a couple more pics...I'm so proud!
In the end, I gave up on that 9" HiyaHiya circ and went back to the dpns. There just wasn't enough room to maneuver, especially when I was using the cable needle, too. I have an 11" circ on order and will try it with the second sock (the toe of which is finished - trying to finish the "April" sock in...well...April).
It fits great and feels so comfy...can't wait to have an actual pair. LOL!!! Oh...and in the two pics above...um, the sock is on my hand. I am a yogi, and I am pretty flexible, but even I couldn't get into whatever position would be necessary to accomplish what it looks like I'm doing in the bottom picture.
Now, off to knock off a bunch of rows on the Evenstar Shawl...I'm dreadfully behind on it, and Clue #6 comes out tomorrow. Yikes!!!
Happy Earth Day - get yerself out there and give the planet a big sloppy smooch!!!
Whoooo hoooo is right. Congrats on the finish. Sock #1 is lovely!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty tulips. Are they yours?
In honor of Earth Day, I did not use the car today.
We will use the car tonight, but still --- not using it today saved me probably 1/2 gallon of gas.
Great socks, Laurie. I admire knitters who make fancy socks.
