Happy Friday!!Yesterday I was looking at all the goodies that people were posting that they had gotten from there KH swap pals. I was shocked to see that someone already had a FO( finished object) made from their swap yarn. I began to feel like a bit of a knitting slacker which quite frankly I have been lately. So I did it. I cast on for my 2 at once on 2 circs socks. At first I was really intimidated by the cast on for toe up socks, but this pattern is different. It has you cast on half the stitches knit a row and then pick up stitches in the back of the row. They explain it way better than I can! Here is the progress I made last night while watching Gray's Anatomy. They don't look like much now but I can definitely see the potential ! Not too bad for my first pair of real socks if I do say so myself! I've knit Christmas ornament stockings so I figured I could go ahead a jump in the deep end of sock knitting without drowning.
