Socks!

[snugglekitty]

So, recently I've been on a sock kick.

These pictures show a pair of socks I'm making for my sister. These are being worked on Magic Loop - a technique where you use one long circular needle to make two socks (or mittens or sleeves) at once. I had wanted to use a simple pattern, since it was a new technique, but after doing the foot part of the sock, I got bored. hanseth suggested mini-cables, so I decided to incorporate those into the ribbing. I'm hoping my sister will be wowed! I used Lion Brand Magic Stripe for these ones, so there will only be a few ends to weave in.

Since I'll be taking a long trip this week, I need to come up with yet another project - I think these will be done after a few more hours of work, and the other project I've been working on isn't very portable. My theory is that I will make some squares for The Network. Perhaps it will give me a chance to try out some new stitches.
