I have a little sock progress to report. I've been working on my socks and I started a new pair for Kaity using the leftover Cascade 220.
Here's my socks.
They're coming along great. I have 11 more pattern repeats before starting the toe. Since there's only 2 rounds in a pattern repeat it should take very long before these are complete.
Here's the socks I started for Kaity.
I started these last night watching CSI: Miami with Shawn. I'm using the last of 3 hanks of pink Cascade 220. Those three hanks have made Kaity's Palindrome Hat, Bree's Toasty Topper, Bree's mittens, and now I'm finishing it off by making Kaity a pair of ankle socks. I generated this pattern using Sock Wizard for Mac. I'm knitting these socks two at the same time using Magic Loop.
The cast on threw me off for a few minutes. Here's the one that helped me out. I also had to search for help on picking up the stitches for the gusset. I didn't work it exactly the same as the tutorial(pdf link) but it gave me the guidance I needed. I just noticed that Kenny has tutorial pages for knitting two socks on one needle on his blog in the sidebar. I'm an idiot for not looking there first.

Two at once with Magic Loop! Now that is an awesome technique. I have to learn that because I am sick of one sock at a time. You certainly got good mileage out of that Cascade 220. You are off to a great start for '08.
ReplyDeleteI love doing 2 at a time with ML, but I've only ever done toe-ups. Thanks for the link for the cuff-down tutorial - I've got just the pattern to test it on.
