Am I Going Out Of My Mind ?



Have I been knitting too many socks that I have gone crazy & knitted unmatched socks! Of course Not - I am alright but I did cast off 2 pairs of socks, one after the other - the problem was that I only had 1 pair of sock blockers so I can't take a picture of both pairs at the same time - anyway, here they are ....

Pattern : Back to Basics, knitty fall 07
Yarn : Araucania Semi-solid
Needles : Harmony 2.5mm dpns

Pattern : Wendy's Toe-up Gusset Heel Pattern

Yarn : Opal Acapulco
Needles : Pony Pearls 2.5mm dpns

The Opal socks are my 1st pair for Can Assist & I really enjoyed knitting these socks as they are easy & fast & the pattern is in my head - they are great for knitting in the car! I will be casting on another pair soon so that I can send the 2 pairs out.

I am still knitting on my Tunic Bonsai & been thinking of casting on another project. Have been thinking of this for a while ......

I have just bought new yarn, 100% silk from Colormart & should I cast on the pi shawl ?

Yes, Ann, you should just cast on for the Pi Shawl :)

No!! But if you had only knitted one of each sock you would have been Hopping Mad!!! Lovely socks as usual, I love the Araucania and the pattern.
Yes, you should definitely cast on for the shawl!!!

I think the Opal socks are very dramatic. Go for it with the pi shawl, it looks great in all the photos.

I love the colors in the stripy socks:-) Don't know what the Pi Shawl is, is it the big round thing in the book?
