I am knitting a pair of self striping socks on size 2 dpn (double pointed needles). They have actually been very fun to do and the pattern was free! It can be found here and I am using the Red Heart "Heart & Sole" No. 3965 Razzle Dazzle yarn. Although it is rated as Intermediate skill, I found it to be very easy and comfortable - especially with this being the first time I have used dpn's. Knit on! as Vickie Howell of Knitty Gritty always says!!
Wow, cute socks! You're very talented :-)

Oh yes - very inspired here..... I've been looking at dpn's and wondering if I have the courage to knit socks.....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! How long has it taken you (using size 2 needles)?! I'm impressed!!
ReplyDeleteI have about 4 hours in them so far - if I was able to just concentrate on them, it would take me about 8 - 10 hours straight to make a pair. My problem is that I have them in my tote bag that I carry with me to my Dr appts so I forget about them once I get home LOL. My goal is to finish them this week while watching some good movies on Netflix curled up on the lounge on the front porch (I hope!)
