FO: January Mystery Sock

Fearless knitting two socks on one circular; the first time.
I have to try it once more to decide if I like this method or not!

+ two socks are ready at the same time
+ no problem of measuring of counting row to find out they are even
+ this method is a bit slower to work; good to settle down.
- two skein of yarn get tangled up, need to be unwinded every now and then
- 2-on-1 is not that handy knitting in the train
- a different emotional value; as impatiens as I am it seems to take ages to finish a cuff, a heel, a foot etc.

Yesterday I finished the the January Mystery Sock of the Goddess Knits. I started it with some hand dyed yarn and frogged it after knitting the cuff. The result was horrible. The second attempt worked out fine, although it seems to take ages, I made this pair in 9 days. That’s a record, considering it did more then knitting these 9 days!

An easy to knit cuff-down pattern with a bit of lace. I have worked the sock over 60 stitches, as recommended. The pattern is slightly elastic, this gives the sock a nice snug fit, without a tight feeling. I hope this nice fitting won’t get baggy while wearing them.

I just found out I missed one clue “Knit across 15 sts” before starting the heel. So the side panel of the sock became the central panel in my pair. Wel, who cares! I like them :-)
