These socks look huge! However, they fit DH nearly perfectly and from a rough poll of all are male friends he has a fairly average sized foot so they should fit John. I still need to wash and block them. But I haven’t yet made my sock blockers and we just got water back - less than 30 minutes ago (that whole long story that I won’t get into, if you on my friends list over at LJ you already know it). But I think I may tackle that this afternoon once the house heats up a bit more and I don’t mind having my hands in cold water, LOL! I’m hoping the wash will make it a bit less itchy. Though I guess it didn’t really feel itchy on my feet or DH’s… I’m also having to decide what I’ll use to wash them - Woolite, Dreft, Baby Shampoo, or go buy the expensive wool detergent…
I’ve now cast on a beaded rib sock using the magic loop. This is my first foray into magic loop and I like it. Though I have a bit of excess cable as the LYS didn’t have any 40″ ones in the sizes I needed so I got the 47″ ones instead. I’m thinking I might cast on for the second sock as well and catch it up to the first and do them both at the same time and hope that reduces the feeling of too much extra cable…
Up next, a modge podge post sometime later today including a neat tip I got from one of the ample knitters and and some beaded stitch markers I sold yesterday…
