First off, I want to thank everyone for their wonderful birthday wishes for the twins!
Now I didn’t join Socktoberfest, not entirely sure why not as I usually always have a sock on the needles. Maybe it was my spectacular failure to actually complete the Trekking Along sock this summer, though it wasn’t for a lack of trying. I did attempt one or two. I’m also pretty notorious for flunking when doing things as a group. Please ignore the number of KALs that I’m actively enrolled in at present. Oh and the one that I actually finished, the button never made it to the sidebar… but it might as I have the yarn to make another swallowtail shawl (a scrumptious handpainted cashmere that Kristen teased me with last week at the SnB)… but I digress…
For a variety of reasons, I didn’t, but probably should have for a change, joined Socktoberfest as I actually finished a pair of socks! And heck, I just joined it!
Project Details
Yarn: Koigu PPPM P530
Started: Ummm (browsing blog for date…)..8/23/2006
Finished: 10/10
Pattern: My basic sock over 60 st, PGR short row heels using US1 Knitpicks for Magic Loop.
Remember this was the yarn I bought at the store that shall remain nameless and as such, I was never totally enamoured with this project. Taking the remaining gloss off is that they don’t really fit me. The foot is a little too big around and well, a little long. They should be counted as my first completed holiday gifts.
Craft on!
