Gold!!
Sunday afternoon, a few hours before the closing ceremonies, I finished my Skewed Socks earning a Gold medal in the 2010 Knitting Olympics!
The ‘origami moment’ when the heel is Kitchener stitched together is really really cool. I mean, really cool.
Other cool things learned – Judy’s Magic Cast On, Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off, and how to knit a sock on two circular needles, all of which will definitely be used again. My only comment on the bind off is that it’s a bit more ‘ruffly’ that I would have liked, so I’ll probably only use that again on patterns that aren’t so sleek-looking, but still a great option to know.
I am absolutely IN LOVE with these socks. Only problem? I got a bit distracted early on in the first sock and knit a longer foot than I originally intended.
Oh well, at least they fit The Canadian.






Why does it look like I have duck feet? ‘Cause I don’t.
