Socks

Look at that!

I finished the second sock! And only .. one week after 1 finished the first! Oh I ‘m so proud of myself. I’m currently wearing both of my new makes and am very happy with them. They have only been on my feet for 2 hours, but they haven’t sagged terribly yet, nor have bits come out. They also haven’t been hideously unpleasant to wear. At present I call this a success! Also, it has got me in the mood for more of this easy knitting. It’s a simple project I can easily take with me on the train, 20 minutes still lets me do a couple of rounds and in no time a project is finished.

So here they are in full form. Beware, my legs aren’t really whiter than milk, something with flash and bad for overall colours. Also, it’s really strange to take photos of your feet when you are standing up and bending over (second picture), they have a really weird shape there..

Oh I’m so proud of my achievement, on to the next.. now with some visual interest please!

 

Sock

I made a sock. It was my second attempt, since with the first attempt I failed to get the gauge correctly. It did fit over my foot, but it was about twice as long when it was not on my foot and therefore I figured that turning the heel might not work very well. So I took some other yarn (the stuff I also used for the cuffs) and created attempt number two. It didn’t take very long to knit it, only 28 stitches in the round so that goes very fast. It’s again blue and very simple, this is the pattern I used (Ravelry).
