At Least They Were Done in October

I cheated on this month's socks in a big way.  I think these were started maybe a year** ago?  Could be...I deleted them from my Ravelry page for some reason so I don't have a clue as to the cast on date.  Anyway I found them buried in one of my knitting bags and decided to cheat on the October sock.  Not much else to really say about it other than I'm finished with one more unfinished project.

One thing the sock did confirm...I actually prefer using 2 circulars to knit my socks.  I may go as far as saying I would rather knit them toe up than cuff down.   I never thought I'd change my mind, but I think I'm faster knitting them toe up.  Maybe I should do a timed experiment when I have nothing else going on. 

Details

Pattern:  His & Her Socks by Ann Budd in Knitted Gifts;

Yarn:  Gems Sport Weight by Louet; Sport / 5 ply; 100% Merino; 225 yards / 100 gram.  I used 1 1/4 skeins and ended up with 74 grams left over.

Needles: US 2; 4 metal DPN's

Gauge:  about 17 stitches over 2 inches

Modifications:  No mods made to the original pattern.

I still have one more unfinished pair of socks in the bag.  It's one I started last December on a car trip.  I finished one sock, cast on for the second sock, then threw it in the knitting bag once home.  This may be the month* I catch up from not getting it done.  It's a simple pattern that I have written out and worked using a 'plain sock' recipe.  It is supposed to break up a variegated sock yarn.

I usually finish my socks one after another so it's pretty unusual for me to have second sock syndrome...especially 2 sets.  It will be corrected this month* and I'll be caught up with both unfinished projects and my Sock Club knitting.  It's a win win!


*I evidently couldn't maintain my mojo on the swirly sock so it will my November sock.  Promise...

**I found them on my Ravelry page...how about a cast on date of Feb 8th, 2010.  Wow
