Sox knit with the yarn we picked up in Mexico,
Missouri
during our Quilt Shop Hop last month.
These were a pretty darn fast knit, considering:
a.] they were knit on Size #2 needles
as compared to the quite a bit smaller Size #0 that I have been using recently;
b.] combined these two pair used 534 yards ! ! ! ! !
That's a lotta yards
~ .3 of a mile
Gloria's
These were knit
2-At-A-Time
on one 40" circular needle
Toe Up
using a Gusset Heel
and a Ribbed Leg/Cuff
Debbie's with a very t-a-l-l cuff
During the same period Hubby's Hell Fire, Once Again
sox were finished and bound off !
Again, knit toe up,
this time with Afterthought Heels.
Using small sized needle,
this pair used 316 yards.
With such a tight fabric
as the result of using small needle size
these should last a very long time.
So fun to knit ! ! !
Here they are
Soxes from the Shop Hop for the girls
and Sox for Hubby
Temp here is below 80 degrees F
today
Great temp for an August day.
Even had a small rain shower.

Isn't it the truth, Patti.
DeleteHubby and I were commenting that
This must be the coolest Summer we've experienced
Since we've lived in Missouri (moved here in '86)
Sure happy I knit sox. :-)
Hugs
They all look great. D#2 likes a longer leg, as I do. I didn't see a dropped stitch but you can fix that pronto. On with CL#3.
ReplyDeleteThey were super fun to knit, Dianna
DeleteEven though the one pair took some EXTRA rows. LOL. LOL
i did pick up that stitch and woven in the ends in pattern
Camp Loopy Project Three is speeding right along
Almost finished with the body portion. :-)
Great pattern
Wonderful yarn
Hugs
Wonderful socks!!! Lucky hubby and daughters!!! You are a sock demon.
ReplyDeleteThese were all fun to knit
DeleteFor various reasons
The girl's sox because they were knit
As first sock for each of them
2-a-a-t so they were both finished at the same time
And then second sock for both knit 2-a-a-t
The Hell Fire, Once Again
Was enjoyabe 'cause it's great yarn to work ith
And
Love those self striping
Yes, two brand new patterns will be cast on
As soon as Camp Loopy's Project 3 is off the needles
Hugs
The whole reason I learned to knit was to make socks. How many pair do I have for myself? NONE! Not for lack of trying, though. I can't size them properly, or perhaps I just like tighter socks than most people wear. It is so frustrating! Maybe I should learn toe up?
ReplyDeleteThree people in my life have socks I have knit and there are about 5 around here, mateless, due to their wrong size. :(
I enjoy seeing your work, thanks for sharing.
Tina, great to hear from you (p.s., you are a no-reply commenter so I can not reply directly to you)
