Psssssttttt: There has been some knitting

I have managed to do a tiny bit of knitting along the way. . . even though I packed enough stuff for at least six projects.

I completed the socks the week before we left, but thought since they were such an oceanic color of blue I'd wait and photograph them here. Yes, I actually brought socks to photograph. Socks and the kitchen sink.

Here are the particulars:

Uptown Boot Socks

Pattern: Interweave Knits Favorite Socks

Yarn: Universal Yarns Pace in Pewter, just over 2 balls

Needles: Size 1 Addis, Magic Loop Style

Project Completed: October 7, 2007

I have to admit that I didn't like knitting these socks, not one bit. The pattern was easy to follow and I am happy with the completed cable-filled project. I think it was the splitty yarn that drove me nuts; that and the fact it got fuzzy whenever I had to tear back any stitches. These seemed to take forever. However, I did finish them and did it in time to include them in Socktoberfest.
