Sockpal GWTF



The Go With The Flow socks for my sockpal are finished! They've been finished for a few weeks, but I have been too busy to post about it, then when I did my last post I forgot to upload the photo. So I tried to upload the photo and suddenly Transmit wouldn't work anymore. I went back to using Fetch, and that seems to be working (for the time being, anyway). Blog probs!

Anyway, I hope my sockpal likes these. Now I just need to mail them to her. That will be the real test for me. Finishing two socks is nothing, but going to the post office? Forget about it.

Oh, and here's a brief review of my new (used) Boye NeedleMaster set. I like it! I don't like it as much as my Denise set.

Cons: The cords are a lot more rigid than the Denise cords and feel much harder to work with. Right now I'm working on a project that isn't in the round. I'm thinking the rigidity of the cords is an advantage if you're actually working in the round, which is what the set was designed for.

Pros: The points on the needles are sharp and the aluminum needles really glide. I am knitting a baby sweater right now and the stitches slide on and off the needles effortlessly.

Shawna,
I received my go with the flow socks in the mail. I love them. They fit perfect. I love the pattern and color that you chose. You are more adventurous than I am. I wanted to use this pattern for my sock pal, but decided to use the cascading leaves pattern instead. Thank you so much again, my socks far exceeded my expectations. :0)
