finished my february socks!
note my right sock; see the heart facing left?
lacy heart
color here is more accurate of how vibrant the red is.
sweetheart socks (rav linky), knit on size 2 DPNs with jitterbug.
the socks are a bit loose but nice and comfy. the pattern called for 64 stitches, and 60 is my magic fit number. i suppose i could have sized down needlewise or adapted the pattern for 60 stitches (what's 4 stitches anyway?)
the lace hearts are supposed to face outward, but for some inexplicable reason, my right heart faces left. i wish i knew how that happened since i followed the pattern to the letter. oh well. hence, why i called my socks "my 2 left feet".
this was the yarn that gave me fits a few years ago. i had such a horrible mental block about it. i'll admit the last sock was hard to knit on - i just wanted it done! - but i'm happy that i knit on, finished the socks, and now that block seems to be broken (i wish i could say the same about the same block about doing magic loop. but one thing at a time, right?)
