I finally accomplished something this week. 2 first socks done. And second socks cast on. This has felt like the longest week, but at least I have something to show for it. I have been loving knitting the Denmarks but the Sixth Sense sock is still a bummer to knit. I think it's the ktbl stitches that are throwing off my rhythm in this pattern. But 1 down, 1 to go...
But these 3 seem to be stuck in some kind of gusset/time warp continuum thingy. They are at the exact same place in sock construction and will remain there for a while longer. For 2 of them that is alright (they aren't part of any KAL, they are simply for my pleasure) but the Fishermen's Sock will be worked on soon.
Time for show and tell. I found this new product (to me anyway) at my local Kroger store this week. Can I just tell you, these were so made for sock knitting. They have 3 sections on 1 bag. I have my ball of yarn and the SIP in the big/back section, the pattern in the middle section, and a cable needle in the front/little section. My daughter loves them because they come with stickers so you can dress Joey the kangaroo. Nice to know that at 16 she's not too grown up yet.
I also joined the Amazing Lace KAL for the summer. I think I've decided on knitting a lace stole and some lace socks (of course). Now I need to decide on the yarn and color. Happy knitting!! I'm off to work on some socks.

Those two first socks look great. I love the colours of yarn for both of them.
The bags are neat. I've never seen them like that (the 3 compartments). I don't even think they have that brand here...
I've joined the Amazing Lace too, but I haven't decided what to make yet. Maybe socks, maybe Reid (if they ever get the corrections posted), maybe a shawl...
Way to go Karen,
I finished the first Six Sox sock this afternoon too amd the Koigu I was working on and cast on for it's mate and am to the toe decreases on the second Austermann Step sock. I will have to look at our Kroger to see if they have the kangaroo bags.
I haven't touched the lace knitting today.
Your socks look great as usual
Wow...I love your socks and wish we had Krogers out here for some cool bags too. Please don't forget about the Togs For Toys. We start this month. Entrys due before the 28th. Thanks. Oh...and congrats on winning!
