As much as I love my iPad is as much as I hate toe up socks. I cast on two pair of toe up socks yesterday. The
Phoebus Apollo and the
Theseus & The Minotaur socks. I abhor the toe up process. These are about the two most gorgeous pairs of socks I have ever seen so I have to force myself to knit them. I am knitting them both 2-at-a time. I only plan to go through the ordeal once. I used the Turkish cast on, which is faster than the figure 8 and there are no twisted stitches on one side.
The yarn is the only truly bright spot in the process right now,
Bugga is as advertised - fantastic. The
Wollmeise is - well - Wollmeise. Unbelievable colors in this Campari Orange skein.
I have taken pictures and will post them eventually. Between knitting and the new toy - not much updating getting done here or on Ravelry.
