November Prime Time

Tour de Sock which began Oct. 1 is now complete for me. For my final pair I chose the Panda Silk in Pewter that arrived for me as a previous CPY prize.

These required all but 6 grams of the 2 balls so nearly 400 yards - on 0s and 00s, no less, except for the cables on the cuff. I really had to pace myself and add in generous amounts of Aspercreme and ibuprofen!

November

Here's my Nov. prime time entry. I was teaching a sock knitting class and this is my version of the class pattern. Knitpicks sock yarn ("Essential") dyed with koolaid and food coloring. Started just before the class around September 24th, Knit just slightly ahead of each class section and both done just after end of class on November 13th. Used US 1½ (2.5 mm) needles, sometimes dpns, sometimes circs.
