I'm plugging away on the foot of sock 1.

I just had to pop on to say .. .BBC1 has a 'channel ident' - a 30 second mini-advert kind of thing - usually 'things' making a circle i.e. a giant snowball at christmas, surfers going through a pipe ... well today was one that made me immediatley think of Hildie .... Hippo's swimming in a circle .

And yes ... I thought of cannabilism

I'm dyeing yarn for mine right now...

Let's hope it turns out well so that I can cast on in a couple of days!!!

I'm still working on the first pattern repeat. It's hard to find some knitting time. I even took a slower train last friday (yes, I know, I'm really addicted) to have more knitting time. But the 2.5 mm needles don't work as fast as the 3 mm needles. Still, it's looking better on the 2.5 mm needles, so I'm happy I switched. I'm afraid mom will get 1 sock for her birthday, with a promise to finish the other one as soon as possible. In that way, I can knit at home as well, so I'll be a lot faster that way.

Tell me... how do you all deal with YOs at the beginning of a needle? Mine are NOT looking very fantastic... the ones in the middle of the needle are not the same size.

Is it too late to join in? I am planning a pair in SWTC Tofutsies. Will doing a gauge swatch today or tomorrow. (Tonight at work if it is slow but don't tell my boss

)

Can you believe that my yarn is dry already? I dyed it yesterday...

anyway, I casted on!

I'm only 2 rows into the cuff, but I've started!

I'm dying to join this KAL...I've even got four different types of sock yarn arriving on Tuesday, from Knitpicks. But I already have obligations to my aunt to make a fun fur scarf (mindless knitting - it's garter stitch), and I'm slogging my way through a mate to a thick worsted weight sock for my mom. I'm regretting ever choosing the pattern I did - I hate cables now, and I'm starting to hate wool-ease. I'm hoping to finish these two things, or at least get a good bit done, on the 3 1/2 hour plane ride to Denver this Wednesday. Maybe by the time I get back, I can cast on for these lovely socks!

I had started these but they were too loose, so I have to start again. I shifted the stitches on the needles so I could do a regular yo and not make it the beginning of the row.

Im getting better at them as I go along.... And, I had thought of shifting sts, Ingy, but since you have to shift sts again before you start the second repeat, I was worried that my feeble brain would get confuzzled and Id shcrew it up.
