It's been a slow week for me. I have started several knitting projects, but have ripped them all out as they just were not doing what I wanted, or were not fun. I have lots of more ideas though.
One thing I did get done this week was my Christmas socks. I decided I needed red socks for Christmas. Why not?
These are made out of Mountain Colors Bearfoot yarn in the Ruby River colorway on a US 2 needle. They are my usual Ann Norling pattern with these modifications. I cast on 72 stitches instead of my usual 64 and did a double decrease four times ten rows apart in the cuff. The pattern is a 4 by 2 rib. The toe is from Nancy Bush's Knitting on the Road Conwy sock (no Kitchener stitch). I'm happy with the way they turned out, and they fit very nicely.
