His and Hers Sock Progress
####Hers:
Here is the sock that I’m packing around town with me lately. Plain and simple stockinette in DGH Confetti — the pattern of this self-patterning yarn is nowhere near as exciting to knit as the Regia yarn, but hey, I plan to knit through my sock yarn stash! I am, however, very pleased with how the heel flap ended up — entirely in white yarn, surrounded by the checkerboard pattern — pure coincidence and pure magic!
The great thing about this pattern is that it is so easy, so mindless, that I can, in fact, knit it anywhere, anytime — in the elevator, walking on the street, in the movies — you get it. A marvelous project to have with you at all times. Your sock, don’t get caught without it.
####His:
This is the awesome progress the DH has made on his sock since he cast on (last Monday, after Valentine’s Day dinner). I’m not even being facetious. Sure it’s going to take him a bit of time to finish, but he’s making steady progress, learning to fix his own mistakes, knitting 1×1 ribbing for the first time, AND learning to use the magic loop technique… all on his first project. Pretty ambitious, IMHO.
