I have made good progress on my personal Sock Throwdown Challenge. I also had a setback.
I finished the June Desert Vista Dyeworks socks. I used the Peter Max colorway and a US 0 set of Addi Flip Stix dpns to knit them. They are just a plain vanilla sock with a heel flap.
I absolutely love knitting with a sock blank, now that I know exactly what works for me. I finished the Gale's Art Lady Sings the Blues socks. These were knit on a pair of Knitter's Pride Karbonz size 0 dpns. I really do not enjoy the Karbonz as much as I did the first time I knit with them. I think I will probably destash them at some point. This sock was a 72 stitch plain vanilla socks with a heel flap, which is my favorite.
I finished the first of the handspun socks. I have not cast on the second one yet. These are knit on a US 1 Chiagoo 40 inch circular. I really need to cast on the other sock but just haven't taken the time to do it yet. It is a plain Vanilla sock with 52 stitches and a heel flap.
My setback. I cast on another pair of socks and this is the reason why the handspun sock has not been cast on. This is a plain vanilla sock with 72 stitches and a heel flap. I am using Hiya Hiya dpns size 0. These by far are my favorite needles. The yarn is Lorna's Laces in the Boardwalk colorway.
I am pretty happy that I finished the two pairs and hope to finish the other two pairs this month. I need to cast on my July Desert Vista Dyeworks socks. I might wait a couple of days before I do that. I have picked out my yarn and plan to use my Hiya Hiya dpns to knit them.
Have a great day!!!
