“…I’d better kick the bucket then!”
Posted on December 13th, 2006 at 9:24 amFinished socks, named Bilius. *snicker*
Pattern: None. Toe-up over 44 stitches.
Yarn: Blue Moon Fiber Arts‘ Socks that Rock Heavyweight in “Chanticleer.”
Comments: Speedy fast socks. I think they only took a total of a few hours. The dye pattern, however, drove me batty. I believe I started the first sock 4 times before I gave up trying to make the colors come together nicely and just knit them anyhow. I tried different gauges and different stitch counts, and there appears to be no way to keep the red parts from stacking on top of each other.
Nice wool, though.

Wow! You got these finished before I even knew you had started them! : )
They look so comfy and toasty warm….and, yep, the colorway does seem to have pooled a bit. ; )

So are your socks going to die in 24 hours? Our dogs are kinda like a Grim….

You constantly amaze me! Fastest knitter I have ever seen. As I plug away on one project or another you just knock them out in nothing flat!! Love the shawl…still haven’t gotten around to doing one of those yet!

I think the pooling actually gives it a neat-ish effect there…
