Then I watched some T and V and worked on the shawl I have on my needles while watching some shows stored on the DVR....
and then about two in the morning I started the other sock. It is not unusual for me to stay up this late - in fact, I went to bed at about 4:30. But you don't care about that, do you? You just want to know what the socks look like.
Well, they look like this:
These socks are made for a 2 or 3 year old. They are very small and very cute. But I have not yet claimed victory because they were knitted flat and I don't like the seam so much because it's designed to be right on the bottom of the foot which means I would have to do some steaming to flatten it out a little and make it more comfortable. Other than that though, I'd say I've made some progress, wouldn't you?

You've absolutely made progress! A sock is a sock is a sock! Whether it's done on straights or on dpns. I think they're lovely and I can't wait to see more!
More? did you say more?
Cute little baby feet socks! I completely understand the late night knitting. But when it gets into the wee wee hours of the night, something takes over. It becomes harder and harder to put the needles down and then I start to hear the "Twilight Zone " music. Am I doing the knitting?, or is the knitting, knitting me? :-)
Ah, Kat - you raise a good question. In the wee hours of the morning with nothing but infomercials as a distraction, the knitting can work it's magic on an unsuspecting, but I gather, not unwilling soul.
sounds like great progress to me..sounds like it went so fast. So,, aren't you ready to for your next pair of socks??
I can't believe how many of you are enablers? Someone sent me a link to a nice sock recipe and I have printed it out it will let me use worsted weight yarn so I don't have to go the route of buying sock yarn (which is my last hold out)and won't cause Joe to moan as the stash increases.
I will keep you posted!
If you want to knit flat and also want the seam to be flat try mattress stitch. You can't see it and can't feel it.
Enablers, enablers every one of you!
What? You're trying to make it easier for me to knit socks?
I actually used mattress stitch and it came out to stretchy. I don't know if it was the yarn or what (could have been me, but who'd admit that?)
