Rainbow Pride Sock #1 - Completed!

[untonuggan]

The second sock is up to the heel flap, as I started it while I was working on the other sock.

And I even wrote down what I did, so hopefully it's something I can replicate. Apparently swatching three times was worth it.







Yarn: Shibui Knits Sock, colorway: Spectrum

Thank you everyone who helped out with the great What Needle Should I Use Crisis earlier on...I am *so* excited about these socks you have no idea. Back to work on the other one!

Thank you!!! I am in love! I think I may have to get more of this wool in a different colorway because clearly it is magic.

[tyger]

CLEARLY. :D Though those colours are obviously badass. :D

Every time someone posts his/her knitting, all I can think is how do you DO that? It's so magical! Beautiful socks!

The really amazing thing? I learned less than a year ago. From a book. When I was manic and couldn't stop.

And it is really kind of magic. I think turning a sock heel is kind of an amazing thing, and whoever invented it should have gotten some sort of medal.

Also, they're hella comfortable.

Hats are also a good place to start. I'm just saying, they're much better than scarves, because scarves take *forever*. Ahem. You know, if anyone wanted to learn how to knit...*whistles innocently*

Oooh, lovely. Hand knit socks are *the best*.

Aren't they just? Am looking forward to a pair that will hopefully not fall down so much...
