My first every pair of knitted socks are still sitting in a plastic box under my bed from nearly a year ago. I realised half way through the second sock that I suck at using double pins (or maybe my crappy bamboo ones just don't cut it). The UFO didn't stop me from starting my second pair! I have recently bought myself a Knitpicks Harmony set, a Knitpicks options set and a whole heap of small gauge circulars. They have totally made my knitting obsession worse.One of my Southern Summer of Socks goals was to learn have to make 2 socks at once on circular needles, I have the book knitting circles around socks by Antje Gillingham. So I grabbed my book, my stash of needles and my new waratah fibers sock yarn and started.
I am really enjoying this technique, I find it much easier than the double pins and the socks are looking pretty neat with no ladders at the joins!
Yay for learning new things :)
P.S These are Monkeys
