Added two new entries on my right panel. Projects in Progress and completed projects. This was a simple Javascript for the progress bar. Will have new pictures for Socks soon.

Two socks at the same time on Circulars

This post is for those that have wondered about knitting two socks at the same time. This will work doing two sleeves at the same time as well.



There are two balls of yarn. You can use both ends, but I just found it easier to use two seperate balls. Yes they do get tangled. The most dificult so far is casting on, and then moving the yarn so they follow the same direction. My ribbing is K2P1.



When you look closer, one of the two circulars has an orange color. I used a Sharpie to color one of the two so that I can tell them apart. This helps to tell the two needles apart, and easier to know which side you are knitting.

Scarf #2

I finished my green scarf, and decided I wanted to try more than one color. This is the same pattern, using red for the scarf. and grey for the cables. Yes there are two balls of grey. I was told it would be easier to use two, so I don't carry the yarn as far.

Clogs

Here is the update on my clogs. Now that they have been felted, they are very confortable.

Back from my trip to Reno/Tahoe. How was the trip? Lets see, I visited:

Jim Bean Wool in Reno
The Wool Tree in South Tahoe
Jim Bean Wool in Truckee
Pioneer Knitting Co. in Minden

Scarf

Sill had a couple of the Alpaca left, so I decided to do a scarf. I started a cable stitch in a sweater, but took a break from that project. I chose the scarf to practice doing a cable stitch. This is my first work with Wooden Circulars. They are ok, but I still like my Turbos.

Socks

Here are my first "Pair" of socks. They are knitted with Baby Alpaca with a twist. They were knitted in the round with two #2 circulars. For those that wonder, yes they are warm to wear.

Clogs

Here are my first set of clogs. This is what they look like before they are felted. Look like a nice pair of slippers for a very all Basketball Player. The shoe is a 9 1/2.

Needles: #13 Turbo
