Two socks at the same time. Yippee.
Okay. There. I did it. I got that purged out of my system. It sidetracked me for almost two weeks, but I did it. I knitted two friggen socks at the same time on two circulars. woohoo.
(please forgive my snarky attitude. I slept on my side the wrong way and woke up not able to move my neck. I’m just a bit cranky this morning.)
So, what did I think about this method? I didn’t like it. One sock on two circs was fine. Two at the same time, not so much. It was clunky as all get out. It was annoying and hard to keep track of what was on what needle. And heel turning? a complete and total disaster. I had to totally take one sock off of the needles to turn the heel of the other. It was at that point that I almost threw in the towel. But I decided to stick with it because, I guess, I like to torture myself. It really wasn’t any faster than knitting one at a time, and, in fact, might have been more slow-going because of the clunkiness factor.
I’m glad I at least tried it, though.
Have you heard of Lolly’s latest project, Project Spectrum?
You should go check it out! I am going to use this opportunity to explore the art of dying/painting yarn. I’ve been thinking about doing it for ages, and recently decided that I wanted to go for it. So this comes at a wonderful time! I’m excited!
Hope your Monday is going fantastic!
Cheers!
