I’m passed the gusset on John’s second sock. I feel like there might be an ending to this project at some point.
Things are moving a bit faster since I switched to my new Addi Easy Knit 10 inch. I know it is risky to change needles in the middle of a project, even if they are the same size, but I couldn’t resist the temptation.
I’m attempting to hold off casting on a new project until I finish these socks, but I can’t promise anything.
How are your socks looking?

John’s sock looks great! I’m sure changing needles won’t make much of a difference.
My sock is progressing. If I got off my phone and stopped reading blogs I might be nearly done:)

It is really hard to concentrate on knitting when you aren’t loving the process. Your socks are looking great.

Do you know why most sock patterns are CO 64 or 72 stitches…I am doing 64 with 2mm needles and they are all a wee bit too loose. Why don’t people cast on 60? Or is it just bad luck every pattern I’ve seen says 64 for small? I’m thinking about ripping out current sock and trying it with 60 stitches instead.

I don’t see a reason 60 stitches wouldn’t work. I have messed around with stitch count when making socks for the kids and they usually end up fine. Worst case you’ll have to mess around with the heel a bit.

My sock looks the same as last week, thanks for asking! How do you like the 10” needles?

I’m loving it so far. I think it will make it much easier to take socks on the go.

My socks are looking great (if I do say so myself). I am ready to turn the heel on pair 2/sock 2. That means I can cast on another sock!! I have a set of US 1 9″ circulars, but I really think magic loop is my favorite. I switch to dpns for the heel and gusset though.

I usually use magic loop, for the whole sock. I switched back to magic loop for the toe. I hate DPNs, I think it is because I drop them a lot.

Agreed. I purchased a small rectangular dpn holder and I must say, they have saved me a lot of grief. Have you seen them?

Mine are done! 🙂 Going to focus on the cardigan for the next week or so before I cast on a new pair.

I love the new one, but I’ve discovered it is really a 1.5. I will be starting a new sock with it soon.
