I finished another pair of socks yesterday. With the reel socks I barely had any yarn leftover but with these Opal socks it looks like I have almost enough for another small pair.
The contents of the Christmas gift bag looks like this now. That's more than a pair a month-but I guess it's not like I have anything else to do these days.
The two at a timers got their heels turned. I watched several videos and read several tutorials on how to do this right but I ended up with a tangled mess again and had to take it all off the magic loop and thread it back on.
I noticed that I don't have many man socks in the gift bag so the next pair up will be made of this. Look at that cute little spool of reinforcement thread. I haven't seen that in ages. I wasn't even aware that it was tucked into the ball until I went looking for a loose end.

You are making excellent progress on your gift bag socks.

You're on a roll! My favorites are the Felici that you're making two at a time. Those colors are great. They look "happy" to me. I've never used yarn that had a little spool of reinforcement thread. How neat is that? Do you just knit the thread with the heel stitches?
ReplyDeleteTake care Debbie.

Your Opal socks turned out great - so pretty! You've accomplished a lot this year. I got a spool of reinforcement yarn/thread in one skein - I forget which brand it was. I never did use the reinforcement thread.
ReplyDeleteGreat sock accomplishments! I love the little heel reinforcement sock yarn addition! I get into a mess when I do the two at a time socks!
ReplyDeleteLang Jawol is the only yarn I've ever seen with the reinforcement thread. So neat
ReplyDeleteAll your socks look fabulous. I just finished off the man pair so I'm happy to have something new on the needles
The Opal socks are cheerful and FUN - I ❤️ them!
ReplyDeleteGreat gift pile of socks! Love the Jawol. It's so nice they provide the reinforcement thread.
ReplyDeleteDeb, how do you use that thread ? Do you double your yarn with it just for the heel? Cool. Your drawer is impressive. WHo doesnt LOVE socks for a gift?
ReplyDeleteHope your Chinese food was delicious. You are on a sock roll, well done!
