Sock It Two Me!
Oh my, I actually finished something.
Here's a close up of the stitch pattern. I think it's rather lovely.
To give credit where it's due, these are the Waving Lace Socks from page 82 of the Spring 2004 Interweave Knits, designed by Eveyln A. Clark. The yarn is Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Lilac (from Threadbear), knit on 2.50mm Suzanne's brand ebony needles
Now, frequent sock-knitters, please tell me: Can you usually tell which sock you knit first? I've put them next to one another and now I'm really not sure which is which. Not the same as twins, I guess.

As to the question -- I can't tell which sock I've done first, unless I've done one of those Riders-to-the-Sea moves involving making a Mistake That Can't Be Missed on one of them.

Posted by: Emma at June 2, 2004 04:48 PMCan I tell which sock I knit first? Not really--I knit 2 at once using the 2 socks on 2 circulars method. I hope to apply this technique to the Waving Lace socks next.
Posted by: JK at June 2, 2004 06:40 PMOoh. Lovely socks!
I alternate between socks -- ribbing on 1, ribbing on 2; leg on 2, leg on 1; heel flap on 1, heel flap on 2... etc. This way I finish both and if I make mistakes, they are not all in the same sock. :)
