My brown stripey socks are done and I'm onto a burgundy stripey pair now. What makes sock knitting so addictive? Is it the going round and round or the fact that there's always a different process to do to prevent boredom? Or is it because the yarns are so attractive? It's a bit of everything for me.
At knitting group last night, almost all of us were doing socks. We were discussing the merits of grafting the toes and how we can all graft if we have to. Personally, I have to recheck directions each time I do it and this is what makes a three needle bind off so attractive to me. I don't have to think about that. Clearly the results are quite different and purists will scoff but that doesn't worry me.
Brown stripeys are coming to hospital with me next week where I am being sliced and diced for a couple of days. Two legitimate weeks off work - in any other circumstances I would be looking forward to it! I have easy lace knitting to take with me - or shall I take my socks?
Back soon!
