Right now, I'm sitting in a hotel room in NagsHead, North Carolina. I can hear the surf from my room, and its totally soothing. Before I left Ottawa, I bought some
Fleece Artist yarn to make some socks. I know I should stick with what I know for the Innu project (hats and blankets) and leave the more complicated stuff to the experts, but its sooo tempting when you see the Fleece Artist stuff. The plan was to go with the two needle sock pattern, but I saw Fleece Artist's pattern using circular needles and I got a little cocky.
Here's a picture of the socks I'm making:
Note to self: when they say 12 inch circulars, they don't mean 18 inch, they mean 12 inch. Bottom line: I am stretching and stretching and stretching the 64 stitches to make it fit around 18 inches, and it won't fit.
Not pretty. I can't convince my family to take a break from our holidays to go on a yarn store hunt - imagine that.
So I'm frogging and going to go back to the 2 needle pattern.
Gotta walk before you run.

Before you frog, if you haven't already, try the 2 circ method. Just put half the needles on one circ and the other half on the other. make one needle the top and the other needle the bottom (which will include the heel). Make sure when you knit you always knit using 2 ends of the same needle (this is very important). Message me on Ravlery if you have any trouble.
