FO: Baby Cable Socks

Who would have thought my love hate relationship with the kitchener stitch video would lead to such a delay in finishing a pair of socks? I can't do kitchener without viewing it (since I lost my arrow instructions) but yet it takes one and a half minutes of waffle before she actually does the damn graft. Gah! But never fear, my arrows are re-scribbled on the back of an envelope meaning that last night I was able to finish not one but two, yes TWO projects!

Real "live" evidence of kitchener at work.

Yarny close-up.

Pattern: Baby Cable Rib socks from Senstional Knitted Socks.
Yarn and Needles: Cherry Tree Hill sockittome in River Run (I'm guessing just over half a ball) on my plastic dpns. The yarn was a gift from Girl on the Rocks during the Ravelry Summer Camp swap.

For shits and giggles, and to satiate my rabid desire for symmetry, I switched the direction of the cable on the second sock. Not that it's really noticeable to anyone but a deranged knitter with a foot fetish. (Which I'm guessing you all might be.)

The second project? Blaze is finished but not yet quite dry, so you'll have to wait 'til tomorrow...

  2. Very cute socks! I can definitely sympathize with grafting troubles...I've started knitting toe-up though, so no more grafting! :)
