Summer of Seven Sox

[susandennis]

It is still too early to go back to afghan knitting so tonight I started on what I hope will be my last pair of socks for the Summer. By the time I finish this pair, it had better be cool enough to do some real knitting. Here's the seven... Three of the pair go to Mom and the rest will warm my tooties over the winter.

I'm so jealous - those socks look great. I wish I could figure out how to be comfortable with knitting in the round on dpns.

I need some nifty cool socks.

Jealous?? Says the stained glass queen???

I don't use dpns because I like to do both socks at one time. I use two circulars. Here's a good website showing at least one technique...http://www.socknitters.com/2circs/

LOVE those socks! Esp the glittery gold ones. i had a pair of socks made from yarn like that. Wore them until the heel and toes wore out. They were black and had pumpkins and yellow candy corn on them. Were supposed to be Halloween socks but you know me. I no longer care if I am in season or not.

But I still hold true to the old retire the white belts/shoes after Labor Day rule. Some traditions carry on. Plus they make my ankles look fat. And I own no belts as I can't be fenced in or strapped down.
