My poor husband's second sock

Last Spring I started a pair of navy wool socks for my husband. After finishing one, I thought…hummmm…it’s getting warmer and he won’t really need this 'til Fall. I have gone on to knit all sorts of things since then. This morning I noticed he grabbed a pair of wool socks to put on. After he left I decided I’d better dig out that navy yarn and get #2 sock done. He’s bound to wear navy slacks soon and has every color but that.

That’s the spirit!

Now start gettin’ ta knittin’ girl before he loses a toe to frostbite :poke:

:teehee:

:cheering: WTG, get rid of the second sock syndrome :cheering:

ha that remind me of the other pair of sock that is still not done.for my hubby … i might have to get into that soon…cos’ the weather is getting chilly here …lately i knit too much for others …maybe i shld get that done ASAP …

Poor hubbies…they should be first, but…

Yeah, I planned to make my second pair of socks for DH, after completing a “test pair” for myself. But I’m uh, on my fourth pair now, and so far… all for me! But since he’s a size 13 and I’m a 6, it’s so easy to put it off. :rofl:

I really admire your discipline in completing the second sock… I knew I had to learn how to do two at once from the get-go because I knew if I didn’t, either 1) I’d never get to the second sock or 2) the second would look nothing like the first!

A friend suggested if I didn’t want to do the two circular method that I should try two sets of DP’s. Knit the cuff of then the cuff of the other and so forth…then they almost finish at the same time.

This is a great solution - it works great for me because I have a horrible time finishing PAIRS of socks. :doh: It even seems to make the process go faster.
