Inching Along…
Well, my knee high version of the Balance socks are making good progress. Though I have to say progress has slowed rather significantly. I started with 72 sts per sock and I am now at 116 sts! I used to easily complete a pattern repeat (4 rounds) within an one hour program (with fast forwarding through commercials). Now I can’t quite make that, though if I’m not watching by myself and DH can fast foward or if I’m watching TV on DVD I can still often make that happen.
The leg height is at about 15 inches when not on my leg, but because of the negetive ease I need to use to ensure the socks stay up, they are around 13.5 - 14 inches high when on my legs. That means I have about 2 inches to go when on, but I won’t know for sure how many inches that is when I don’t have it on. I think it will soon be time to start the ribbing/mock cables all the way around the top.
I can’t say positively, but I’m guessing this is the last shot of my trying on both socks at the same time. It is getting to be a rather tricky maneuver to get them on now, LOL! I’m thankful that I definitely have plenty of yarn to finish these off. I haven’t put the remaining balls on the scale, but I’d bet I have nearly 1/4 of each ball remaining yet.
Happy Monday!
