Periwinkle socks | 9:29 am | 23 December 2005
OK, so I take back, what I said about sock knitting totally sucking. What changed my mind?
- cotton & elastic yarn: soft! and cheap!
- using one big circular needle instead of five motherfucking pain-in-the-ass double-points is much easier on the hands
- going toe-up makes easier fitting and a nicer looking heel
As for the boredom issue? A sock is a great to stick in your bag for when you actually need some light distraction — like commutes, family visits, and staff meetings.
