On and off the needles I am always knitting socks because they are a good go bag project and I have knit so many over the years they don’t require my undivided attention. I recently finished the shorties and have learned that if I knit 6 short rows after I finish the heel they don’t slide down into my hiking shoes. The best way to avoid blisters with the hiking shoes is still to wear 2 pairs of socks.
I’m using the leftover yarn from my most recent sweater in the socks with the blue toes. I weighed my yarn and then weighed a finished pair of socks to guess how much yarn I would need. Then to dig in the box of small balls for something of similar fiber content and color that would look nice together. —Ann—
I do the same thing... always have socks going for car trips and doctor's visits. Your yarns are all beautiful! I wish I could learn to knit two at a time, but I'm too stuck on using DPN's.
ReplyDeleteI love knitting socks too, but have a bad habit of casting them on and then they turn into
ReplyDeleteWIPs. Sigh...
