Toe-up socks


L's first pair of toe-up socks went well. The Bernat sox yarn finally spoke to her and told her what it would like to be. She enjoyed knitting up from the toe. It was not unusual to see her hopping around on one foot with an unfinished sock on the other.

Here's a handy tip for you. Don't step on knitting needles. It will either be very painful for you, for the knitting needles, or for everyone involved.

These socks have a lovely wave-type pattern that doesn't show up as well as was expected. Try squinting a little bit.


Did you see it? Do you see the waves?

All wave issues, aside, these socks certainly look warm and toasty. Current temperature outside? About seventy degrees Fahrenheit. Maybe the next project should be a wool sweater or something light like that.
