These socks have been a very quick knit. I finished up the first sock Saturday afternoon. I have taken to working the Kitchener stitch on the toes while I am wearing the sock, that way I can pull the yarn snug and not worry about things being too tight. It really does make that part easier, in some respects, although you do have to be flexible enough to get your knee to your chest (not something I have a problem with). After finishing it up and weaving in all the ends I immediately cast on the second sock. By early Sunday afternoon I had finished up the leg.
I worked the heel flap, turned the heel and started on Chart 3 Sunday evening, and finished up Chart 3 this morning.
I’ll finish up this sock in pretty short order and then I think I will do another sock (it is Socktober, after all). I have one more sock pattern in this club to make, and even though the original yarn was destroyed by carpet beetles I did find an excellent substitute in my stash and it is all caked up and ready to go.
Pattern: Sylvan Socks by Janel Laidman
