Another FO for 2008 and this one was completed in 5 days. A sock really does tend to go quickly when you are just doing a basic stockinette sock. This is my own toe-up version. I used the Magic 8 cast on, Gusset/Flap Heel and topped it off with a 2x2 Ribbing Cuff. I have to say the gusset/flap heel is my favorite because it really contours the sock to your foot. Everytime I have knitted a toe-up sock with this method I have achieved a perfect fit!Here are the stats on Jay Sock. Started January 14th and completed January 18th. Yarn used was Colinnette Jitterburg in colorway Jay. I used size 1 Knit Picks circular needles. Method used was toe-up with 2 circs.
Ha! I'm first! Hooray for Jay! You know I love those socks. That was a super fast knit!
ReplyDeleteCool lookin socks :0)
ReplyDeletePretty socks! That was impressive for five days
ReplyDeleteGreat socks. I haven't knit socks toe up yet. You make it sound quite easy. I'll have to remember to try it with my next pair.
ReplyDeleteVery fast! I have been worjing 5days on just one of the pair of socks. Sick to be so speedy. The color is fab. I like that turquoise/ tealish color right now.
