Hey! I just finished my socks!
The pattern is Pink Ribbon Socks by Laura Spradlin. If I’d had pink yarn, I would have made them pink, but I only had purple.
The main casualty of this particular project was a set of circular needles:
I’m not entirely sure what happened. I was working on these in one of our hotel rooms, I got up to do…something…and when I came back it was slightly bent. I kept on knitting, but was dismayed a few days later when I went to push stitches up onto the needle and it started to bend even further! Apparently I don’t know my own strength.
Or…since a 2nd set of needles is also starting to bend…I wonder if these are just cheap needles, and I need to find something different.
Now…to decide which knitting project takes it place. Finishing an existing project? Starting something new? Hmm…..tough choices.
oh — they’re adorable! one of these days I have to try doing cables…
those look really nice. You know you’re going to start a new project with the red white and blue yarn. Do one sock and then finish your Olympic socks. And then do the 2nd rw&b.
Mom’s advice, rarely followed.
Those are very nice socks and I always knew you were a strong woman!
I really like your socks! And like Vicki, I’ve always known you were strong! As far as what to do next? I’m in finishing mode … so I would do that, then reward yourself with something new!
These are some awesome socks! Love the cable knit and love the color!
