Another WIP-it Wednesday report! I made some serious progress this past week on the three pair of socks I was working on. Check out where I was
last week and see what progress was made! I worked on nothing but them all week!
First up are my
I is for "I Shall Name Them George" socks. I just turned the heel on the first sock last night and I am now working my way up the leg. I am thinking I am not too fond of short row heels. I like they way they feel on my foot but they are not easy for me to do... Maybe more practice will help!
Next up are my
J is for "Julie's Soft Socks". I finished the first sock and am only a few rows away from starting the heel flap on the second sock! This is in a heavier yarn so it moves along quicker. Someone asked last week what yarn I used - it is something called
Gala Spider - a polyester nylon mix made in Turkey. I got a bunch of this stuff for $0.99 a skein!
Finally here is my progress on my
K is for "Knitmore Girls Vanilla Socks" I have turned the heel and am working my way down the gusset on the first sock.
Over the next week I am going to focus on my
Around the World quilt-ghan I am making for a friend.
And my weight loss - I am down a total of three pounds. I lost the weight I gained while I was away and am back on track now!

Wow, lots of sock progress!
ReplyDeleteThe socks look great. I have found the YOYO heel a much better short row heel, it is easier to do and gives a nice finish
ReplyDeleteI love the colorway on the K socks. And I'm really impressed you got so much done on socks this week!
ReplyDeleteSocks, socks, socks! Looking really good! My favourites are the "I shall name them George" I love the colour!
ReplyDeleteSo much progress on the socks!! And well done on the weight loss!
ReplyDeleteAwesome progress!!! I love the George socks colors - that is right up my alley! I knew you'd lose that weight - congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteYour socks are great!! I am not a fan of short row heels but I suspect it is because I have only done a few. They probably require practice like most everything else.
ReplyDeletethey all look wonderful... beautiful colours and I love the names!

That's a lotta socks! Almost makes me want to put down my crochet hook and pick up some tiny DPN's. Almost. =)
