So I have neglected this blog and only slightly less neglected the sock challenge.I am catching up though. Over the last months, I have sporadically doing few hours here and there.
Let's catch up on Porthos:
Hours 9 and 10
 |
Hours 11 and 12 (and done with one)
Bind off: JSSBO
Cuff: 12 rounds of 2x2 rib |
Hour 13 (1) of the second sock
Meanwhile, I started a new sock that I am calling Tree in Montana because I am using a broken rib that we all like in a scarf called Montana. And the color palette makes me think of a blue sky in the woods.

Hour 16 (3)
And, then, I had been eyeballing this gorgeous Manos del Uruguay Allegria that happens to be in my man's favorite color, purple. These socks shall be called Purple Delight.

| Hour 17 (1). I thought that it matched my breakfast snack very nicely. |
 |
| Hour 18 (2) |
 |
| Hour 19 (3) |
 |
| Hour 20 (4). This picture is just before the heel (Fish Lips Kiss) and I work 73 rounds after the increases. |
I am determined to meet my original goal. I just need to work double time!
