Six Sock September

There's a new group on Ravelry named Six Sock September. It's a challenge to knitters (and crocheters!) to make 6 socks during the month of September. I'm in! Since it usually takes me a week to ten days to make a pair of socks, I think I can handle this. As an added bonus, it will help me start my Christmas knitting early! Right now I'm working on the Duxbury Point Wrap for my mom that I started in about April, but it's cabled and very time-consuming. I've been doing a dozen rows a week but for the past week or so I've been trying to get more done. I can average 10-15 rows a day, which may not sound like a lot, but the wrap has over 500 rows and I'm just past row 200. It will be GORGEOUS when finished, though!

Dr. Who's Vexing Socks are done! Hope the recipient enjoys them!

Vexing Dr. Who Socks

So I've been trying to knit a pair of socks. It just wasn't happening. I double checked it all-measurements, gauge, pattern. Three times I made these socks and they came out too small. They wouldn't fit over the foot and heel. So these socks have been vexing me because I don't know what went wrong. Whatever it was, it's fixed now. One sock is done! And it fits! I'm working on the second sock now but all indications are that it will fit too. And then these vexing Dr. Who socks will be done and ready for the recipient!
