progress

I didn’t get to go and see the Yarn Harlot, but I made quite a bit of progress on the first pair of Holiday Socks.  I am using Opal 6ply.  I don’t want to talk about ALL the knots and the sections of yarn I have had to set aside to keep the pattern even some what consistant.  Note to self: No more Opal 6ply self patterning yarn!

I used the chart in the “You’re Putting Me On Socks” pattern for starting the gusset and they look to be just right.  Hubby’s size 10.5 foot is modeling them and I think they will be just right for the size 11 feet they are going to.
