    About

    This is only the second pair of socks I've knitted and this one is of course much more complicated than the first ones. They're going pretty quickly. I hope I can get them done by Christmas(fingers crossed). Most of the time I like to make projects that incorporate something I haven't done before and this one is no exception. This is my first time doing stranded colorwork on double pointed needles and learning to trap longer floats is a interesting and fun skill to know.
    I finished them in time for Christmas(yay)

        Yes you can. I just prefer double pointed needles as I am not very good at using the magic loop technique.
