The Hedera socks are proving to be slow work I suppose I should get them out more frequently.
I turned the heel on the first one tonight, but had stitches left over, so I had to tink it. It was going too slowly and the bath was running… so I pulled it off the needles and ripped it out. Then I tried to pick up the stitches. Oh, my… this yarn is really splitty…
I finally got it turned but how can I put it in the show? What a mess. My eyes just aren’t up to the unpicking routine these days.
The socks are intended for the 100 grammes class but they aren’t going to take 100 grammes of yarn. I am going to have to knit up a quick gift pouch to put them in, I think. That’s if I ever get to make any progress on them. *sigh*
Anybody got any good ideas for making up the 100 grammes usage otherwise?
Don’t forget to look in on Fenny’s Blogathon effort!
Socks for me take about 65 g, so I use the leftovers as toes and heels on a second pair, but you could also do fingerless mittens (about 20-30g), don’t do fingerless gloves because it’s LOADS more work. Baby boots, baby mittens, baby / small person hat, gift bag.
It’s to do by Friday and I only have half a sock yet – so a quick and dirty gift bag seems likely at this stage. Mittens is a good idea, though – for a matching set. I could just do a lace pattern panel, and the rest in stocking stitch, to speed things up.
Thanks, Natalie
How about a headband to match the socks?
