And I still love the video that I found for the Kitchener stitch! This time, I only had to watch the video one time and I was almost done with my toe by the time the video was over. Look at how great this looks! I am pretty impressed with it!
I just have to sew in the ends on both socks.
Wednesday night, I picked out the next pattern and yarn to use and I tried to wind up the balls. I ended up with a huge knotted mess and it took until last night to get it all untangled and the balls wound.
Lula was very interested in the ball winder.
I also started on the next pair. I have 4 rows of ribbing done, but I can't wait to work on this during lunch today!
The yarn is Heritage Silk Paints in Vino - shades of red to burgundy. Very lush and I love how it feels already!
The pattern is Hermione's Everyday Socks and since the pattern calls for knitting on circs and I have them in the right size, that is what I am doing.
Happy knitting!

GREAT LOOKING PAIR OF SOCKS. I HAVE KNITTED 6 OR 7 PAIR AND NOW TRYING DREAMBIRD WITH JUDY.
WHERE DID YOU GET YOU SOCK STOPPERS FOR YOUR NEEDLES? LOVE THEM
I have cast on Hermione's Everyday socks too. I think I have only done the first two rows.
I love your yarn for both socks!! Thanks for posting a kitchener video. I have been following instructions but mine don't look that good. I will bookmark it for next time.
I wish I could knit/crochet. It's just not in me. I've tried. Would be nice to have "easy" handwork to bring with me when I travel or whatever.
Your Hickory socks turned out great! The yarn for your new sock looks very soft and yummy. That pattern is in my favorites.
those turned out great!
Yippee! Congrats on finishing the brown pair. Love the red for your new ones too.
Hickory is a great color! Love the socks as well. Oh, and that red is perfect!
Love your Hickory Zora socks!!! That's one of the patterns I want to try soon. And the color of your new socks - OMG-YUM!!!!
