Now onto sock news....
Last time you saw these was in June, I was knitting them 2 at a time and was in deep denial but had hope so onward I went. Until I got to my usual 7.5" of knitting for toe ups for me. They look a bit small in the width department, but again, I was denying it. After trying them on and realizing even after the heel turn, they would be horrible to get on...to the frog pond they went. I cast on more stitches and changed needle sizes and now see below...
Whiz Bang sock part deux! Fits great and right now knitting the leg until the yarn runs out. Oh yes and knitting them 1 at a time now.
Since I love this colorway and I spun it myself, you can see why I salvaged this project :)
Well off to work for me, going to be an interesting week. I'll be working on Thanksgiving evening and on Black Friday for the first time....hoping it won't be too crazy!

Beautiful spinning. I love the sock yarn, such a pretty colorway and lovely yarn!
Such a pretty color! They look better on the blocker too. I would have been in denial too about the fit, but I'm glad you were able to save them.
Your yarn is so pretty! They are extra special as they are handspun hand knit-truly amazing!
Very nice! I want to try to spin some sock yarn one of these days. Is it 2 or 3 ply?
Beautiful socks!
