It’s been almost 2 months since I cast on this lovely blue 4-ply sock yarn by West Yorkshire Spinners.
I’m feeling guilty about my lack of progress since then on socks for my DH. It’s been very cold here and he has nearly worn out all the other socks I’ve knit for him.
In early January I picked this project up again and I hope that they’ll be finished soon.
This photo shows the toe-up method using two size one needles. Gauge is about 12 rows per inch. Because the stitches are so small, I find it difficult to work on this in low light.
But Ta-Da! I have one completed sock.
Today I worked on sock 2 during Westham United’s game against Darby. At the whistle, I had completed another 1 and 1/2 inches on the foot section. I’m hopeful that cast-off will take place before another week has passed by.
What are you knitting this month?

I cast on a hat, but haven’t picked it up this week. Maybe I need to go for a ride so I can get some knitting done. Not driving myself, riding along! LOL love the sock color.

Don’t be fooled by the photographs. The color isn’t true to its appearance in natural light.

The yarn is such a pretty color. Don’t worry about taking a break. Our enthusiasm for various interests ebbs and flows, for those of us that like to do many things.

Looking at your post made me pick up my stitches, too! I have already finished one sock, and the other is on its way. The problem is I often watch foreign stuff on the TV and need to read the subtitles – my Finnish is awful! – but ribbing is pretty mindless. I prefer 4 sock needles myself, but do like the 2-needle method.
