Tuesday after a holiday weekend….

Filed under: Knitting, Socks — by busyhands @ 10:50 am

Why do I always feel like I need a holiday after a holiday weekend?

Here is the dischcloth that I was working on over the weekend – it has already had its vinegar bath and is now drying.  I give all my cotton dishcloths a dunk in white vinegar to ensure that the dye is set.   Have I mentioned how much I love these things? 

 

 

 

 

 

I took a whole daylong break from sock knitting – I’m not sure that it helped my sore little finger, because I couldn’t give up knitting altogether for the day.  Here are some pictures of the 2 at a time pair of ankle socks that I’m learning how to knit on 2 circulars:

I decided to make ankle socks – because that is the length that I actually prefer to wear and I thought that this colorscheme (Opal Summer Sizzler line) would look good with my bowling shoes (I bowl in a women’s league).  I’m using a mixture of Sensational Socks, Socks Soar and Sheron Goldins Online class to get me through this pair.  I hope to finish them by the end of the week.
