Notes

July 19 2009 - I’m going to start these today and by the time I get to the heel my mom should be in town to get me through it. :D

Sept 7 2009 - I stopped on this because I really disliked working with dpns on such a little thing. I just read about the magic loop method… I think I’ll try it.

Jan 2 2011 - Started over using magic loop.

Jan 8 2011 - A great beginner sock. I was worried about understanding the instructions for the heel but they were very clear and the heel turned out just fine. I love the herringbone pattern and the yarn is gorgeous. Not sure that I have enough yarn for 2 socks but still I keep on knitting…

I finished one sock then hit the snooze button…

blogged

Jan 5 2014 - I just finished three sweaters that have been hanging around awhile and in that spirit I’ve decided to knit the other sock. Three years later. :)

Jan 12 2014 – All done and I love them! They are definitely the fanciest socks I have.
