Two socks, one skein

Lookie! I’m still working on the same project. Those who know me know I am easily sidetracked. As you can see, sock two has caught up to sock one. You can’t really tell in this picture, but I’m still using both ends of that one ball of yarn for both socks. The yellow yarn is a row marker; I placed it after the 25th row of ribbing on the cuff, and when I get to 50 rows, I’ll place another one. That way I don’t have to keep counting over and over and over again. Well, I guess I still have to count, but at least I don’t have to count more than 25 at a time. :)

Oh, by the way, those are US size 1 needles. I probably should be using size 2 or 3 with this yarn, but I only have one set of each of those, and I have two sets of size 1, which means it’s a lot easier for me to knit both socks at the same time, since I don’t have to constantly slide my stitches on and off of a holder.

Here’s another view of that clever heel I told you about that can also be a toe, depending on where you work it. You can see the color of the socks a little better. I’m trying to decide if I should do the last few rows of ribbing on the cuff in blue.
