Slipped Stitches

A small group of knitters with a range of knitting experiences - from the wise Maple Girl to the careful and fresh faced Sauce, and the full throttle knit or die style of Sly. Enjoy our varied projects and thoughts, and if you don't have anything nice to say...well...you know.

 

Socks...too bad they come in pairs.

I've finished one of Mr. Sly's socks, using a pattern from the sock page. I had a hard time nailing down a pattern, and I had to modify it partway through, but I think it should fit him ok now. I have to say, with much shame, that I used the 3 needle bind-off for the toes...I know!! It's a total no-no for socks, but the toe grafting would have left gaping holes. I don't think it would have held up to the strength of Mr. Sly's toes. Since Mr. Sly is gainfully employed, I'll have to be the sock model. Feast your eyes, people!



Now it's on to sock #2.
