I’ve finally finished my second pair of socks. I have to give credit to the monday night group at Ultimo as well as the Thanksgiving drive to push me to get to the end of these. I don’t know what it was, the ribbed uppers just took me forever. I got so bored with them! But now that I have the socks all finished, I’m super happy with them. They fit well, and keep my feet nice and warm. Chris gave me this yarn last year for Christmas, so its nice to have it knit up before Christmas comes around again.
Thanksgiving was pie-licious. We got to take home some pumpkin, and I’m definitely looking forward to finishing that off. The four-day-weekend is shaping up to be quite lovely. I’ve got more projects ahead of me, and a night of wine and hockey to inspire the Redwings scarf for Chris. I have no idea how I’m going to make it, but I have the yarn now so its time to attack the task. I’m still putting off the beadwork necessary for one of my presents, and a new challenge is a perfect way to procrastinate. Scarf here I come!

oh, can you teach me to make socks? I’ve been trying to learn for a long time …
just found your blog and am very excited – have bookmarked it and will eagerly keep up with your goings-on!

The toughest part is turning the heel, although I actually like it because they start to look like socks. I used a generic pattern… if you search “toe up magic loop” you can find quite a few of them. There is awesome self-striping and self-patterning yarn out there that gives a complicated looking sock with easy stitches… just go for it!
