New project news
I figure, I finished a sweater, I can treat my self and start a new project right? Forget about the shawl. It's on vacation (I forget who I told that to....)
I started these:
Actually it's just a "this" right now. What is "this"? It is the beginnings of the Over the Knee Socks from Hand Knit Holiday's! I am actually a lot further than this picture. I am now on the foot almost ready to decrease for the toe! I am really really hoping I don't run out of yarn. I don't think I will.
I am also really hoping that "second sock syndrome" does not set in. This would be a bad one for it. Although the sock is going rather quickly seeing as how I started it last Sunday. I am not going to let it happen! The other sock will be cast on immediately!
Over and out.

2nd sock syndrome. I like it. I have that syndrome too frequently.

love the socks.
i hate 2nd sock syndrome. It took me a year and half to make a pair of ankle socks because once i got done the first i didnt want to make the second. :)
but once you get done you have to cast on immediately or the 2nd sock syndrome will set in and the project will be lost to the UFOs....
dont let this happen to that gorgeous sock - you dont want it to be lonely do you?
and i believe I am the one you told that the shawl was on vacation:) hugs

That's a great looking sock. I aspire to making knee socks, maybe after I get a few more things done. What yarn are you using?

Wow! What an ambitious undertaking! The color is amazing! What yarn are you using?

2nd sock syndrome... ... ... that's my problem, ;) or - problems? I have lots, lots, lots of them, I think ;)
Over knee... you are sick, ;) I wan't picture - now!!! I'm sitting here and wait... ... ... Will she made it - or not... ... ... ;)
Big hugs... ... ...

Oh that looks great indeed. Cast on for the second sock as SOON as you cast off the last one, or better still, leave the toe ungrafted of the first sock but on a needle holder, and then you graft the two of them one after the other at the end.

How do you know if you're the 2999th or 3000th commenter?

At first glance I thought they were leg warmers...Thought maybe you were having an 80's flashback, not that that's a bad thing 'cause you know the 80's are back in many ways...
They will be rockin' socks! Can't wait to see them all finished!:)

So did you all get any of that incredible snow that we're hearing about that landed on Oswego?
