Hey, guess what? I do knit!
I finally finished the Never Ending Knee Highs.
Obviously, she didn't pull them up very well, but they're done. They really felt like they took forever. I don't think I'll volunteer to do plain knee highs again in a hurry. They're made with Lorna's Lace's Girly Stripe, knit on size 0 (2mm) rosewood DPNS.
And of course, it's far too hot to wear knee highs (or any wool socks) right now.
Next, I plan to learn 2 socks on 2 circs, but I think I'll be concentrating on the shawl right now. The chart is causing me some grief, my math skills are more than a little rusty it seems.
Guess who I saw while out and about?
Sorry for the crappy picture, I took it on my phone. See Santa on the escalator? It just tickled me to see Santa wandering about the shops all by himself. Looking for last minute bargains perhaps?
Happy Weekend!

Posted by: Rachael at December 18, 2005 07:08 AMThose socks look fantastic. And I loved the comment you left the other day about the 16 year old jumper. I wouldn't be worrying about the ends. I'm impressed it has survived three kids!
Posted by: Carol at December 18, 2005 08:15 AMWOW! Knee-high socks knit with size 0s! They are very nice and I'm sure they were worth the work for Em.
