I finished the second sock for my goat-herder son Friday night, with about 12 hours to spare before he arrived home for the holidays.
But do you see the small butterfly of yarn? That’s all that was left of the 100-gram skein. I was sweating the last few inches of the second sock, afraid that I’d run out of yarn. I kept knitting faster and faster, with the misguided idea that the faster I knitted, the longer the yarn would last. Who knows, maybe it worked!
Been there done that too! I knew you would make your deadline. Merry Christmas.
I want to be as fast a knitter as you when I grow up! Job well done! I am sure he will love them!
Merry Christmas Ann!
Lovely! I think the fast knitting worked! Your lucky son.
the socks look terrific! he will wear them with pride.
Congratulations! I knew you could do it.
Have a wonderful holiday.
Hey. Ann, Natalie from Utah. I’ve enjoyed your posts about the sock. Congratulations you made it. Merry Christmas.
The socks look great! I tried your candied nuts and they turned out great. They seem to be slowly disappearing. Merry Christmas.
Barb K. Very nice. I have sweat out many projects with what I thought was not enough yarn myself. Happy holidays.
I always knit faster when my yarn is getting low too, lol.
