To sock or not to sock 


I have been thinking a lot lately about starting some socks. i need to make a pair for my mom for Christmas. 

I have been additionally inspired by b who took a class on toe-up-socks on 2 circular needles. but, i have been discouraged by the idea that the socks won't fit, or that my mom might lose one of them. i also really like turning the heel which i am not sure if you can do when knitting on 2 circs, Trish over at Bloomin' Knitiot has totally blown me away. Not only is she working with 2 circular needles, she is working on 2 socks at the same time. wow. it is a little intimidating.

Meanwhile, i have cranked out a few beer cozies for my uncle for xmas. i think i will post more about them later, since my comments should be accompanied by pictures. if i didn't have to finish up that dang scarf, i would be able to test-knit one more cabled cozy so i can post the pattern....

tonight, at knitting circle, i will be working like mad on my multidirectional scarf. I need to finish it. it is cramping my gift-knitting.

Also, the Secret Pal 2 program is about to end. i have one little bit of stuff to send to my secret pal, and mine has told me to expect something in the mail. I can't wait!
