As you can tell by the photo, this was a road trip triumph. Hubby (aka The Master Driver) tried them on in the hotel because giddy little me couldn’t keep my mouth shut and keep them a Father’s Day surprise as I intended. He said “these are great, after a while I don’t even feel I’m wearing them!” Then he laid it out in front of me in every room he found me so that I won’t get Second Sock Syndrome. :rofling:
I haven’t gotten up my courage yet to try a sock. But yours looks great! You’ll have to be sure and post when you finish the mate. Do they work up pretty quick?
Thanks so much - I made sure to CO for sock #2 already and got a few inches done on it last night
loveswildflowers - it does work up pretty quickly! The slowest part was the heel and turning the heel, but that’s mostly because I was nervous about this part and made a few mistakes - I’m sure it will be much better the 2nd time around :XX:
hedgehog - thank you so much!! Stop by my blog anytime!
I just love this forum!!! (If you do a search I’m sure you’ll find that phrase is in 80% of my posts here )
Bee Stripe is the perfect name for that yarn… that’s exactly what I was thinking as I looked at it! Congrats to your first sock, and welcome to the addicting world of sock knitting!
Great job! That yarn is sooooooooo cool and I too, have to comment on your beautiful family. I totally had a little giggle when I saw the egg carton caterpillar. I haven’t seen one of those in forever.
Nice job! And so great that your husband loves it and is helping keep you motivated! I agree with Nicole - sock knitting can be very addictive!! (I currently have 2 different socks on the needles, and might add another…)
Thanks for the encouragement in regards to sock knitting. I really do think I am beginning to get my courage up for that. I too had a peek at your blog and your family is darling! Knit on! :XX: :happydance:
