This Did Start As A Knitting Blog

Whoa!  It's been about a month since I've written a knitting post.   And the thing is, I've been knitting.  let's start with what i've finished.  shall we?

if you recall, about 6 weeks ago, i posted some photos of two pair of socks that i was in the middle of knitting.  at the same time, both socks (for each pair) together.  yeah, that was a freakin' nightmare.  and something i'm never doing again.  the two socks together thing.    almost took all the joy of knitting socks from me. can you imagine?  anyway, sometime in november, i finally finished them. 

and i'm even wearing them all together at the same time!

these are through the loops mystery sock I and II that i knit up using some madeline tosh yarn in my stash.  i've ravelled the details here and here.  for the cabled version i cast on 72 stitches, for the plain, i cast on 68 and i knit them up using US size 1 circulars. 

that's it for now.  i have to save something for tomorrow.
