Da moment you've been waiting for...

Done!! Da Socks fit Kyle well, now all I have to do is weave in all of the ends by 10 AM tomorrow morning (that's when the Bears game starts). Da Stats: Cast on Dec 1, cast off Dec 30. Knit with 2/3 of a skein of Sweet Sheep sock yarn as the main colour, and about 40g of a skein of Sisu sock yarn as contrast (about 1 g of cat hair got knit into it as well, I think.) A variation of the Sock Wars pattern, using an afterthought heel. Both socks knit at the same time on a 2mm Addi Circ, with Crystal Palace 2 mm bamboo dpns used for the heels. Random thoughts about this project: I love the way that the areas with less dye made secondary stripes. I don't know if that's what Michelle intended, but it looks cool. Once you cast on and get the first 2 rows of knitting done without twisting things, it's really easy to knit 2 socks on one circ. I hate the Sisu yarn; the colour was perfect, but it splits and sheds fuzz and strands of yarn end up being tied together by fuzz knots. Yarn bras would be a very good idea when knitting 2 socks at the same time - especially when using contrast yarn on the heels; there was some macrame action going on with the various strands wrapping around each other. Large feet means that the socks seem like they will never be done; moreso if you are knitting 2 socks at the same time. I can do kitchener stitch perfectly if I hold the needles so they are pointing upwards, rather than horizontally. The afterthought heel is easy, but I should have done decreases every row for the last 6-8 rows to minimize the "corners" on the heels. Grafting with yarn that splits/fuzzes causes grey hair. Did I mention I hate the Sisu yarn? It is possible to warp size 0 addis inadvertently by applying constant pressure to them.
