finally, progress! |
This Denmark sock has been on my needles for a long time it seems to me - almost a month exactly. And although I've been working on it quite often it didn't feel like I was making much progress until now. Yesterday I started the heel flap and sock progress usually accelerates when the heel turn has been completed. At least that's what I usually find.
Now's the time to finally put a name on these socks. Once completed they're going to be part of my Christmas gift knitting. When I cast on I had a name in mind but a couple of weeks ago that friend dropped a not-so-subtle hint that she'd like some fingerless mitts instead. Okay-dokey, but where will these socks find a home? That's what I need to decide in the next day or two, in time to tailor the foot length to the intended recipient.

It's Work-in-Progress Wednesday over at Tami's Amis. Click the link to have a look at what everyone else has been up to. Almost certainly there's a lot more Christmas crafting being done!

I find the foot goes much faster too - weird!
Oooh, both of your yarns are such gorgeous colours. I know what you mean about socks progressing so much faster after the heel (although the fact that I have small feet helps with that too!)
I love the yarn colors. Many of us are also getting ready for some last minute holiday crafting, so you're in good company!
Lovely yarns. I always figured the foot goes faster because it is half plain knitting
Lovely purple!
I still have a batch of gift knitting to do as well
I love the colour and the pattern on your Denmark socks. The new youar for the gloves is gorgeous and I love the pattern. It's been sat in my Ravelry favourites for a few weeks now, lol. :)
So pretty!! Christmas knitting is taking up all of my time right now, so much to get done (really I should just start earlier!).
I usually knit from the toe up, so I find the reverse to be true ... same principle though!!
