Sock Pattern #1 in Sock Madness 2 is complete! Here they are. Done in Lorna's Laces colorway Mineshaft and knit on size 1 needles. Yep, Lisa, you nailed it right away. It's a bit difficult to see the laddering but see where it looks like there are holes in the sock? That's the laddering. Let me tell you, it's a bit unnerving to deliberatly let a stitch drop off the needle and watch it slide back 6 rows and then discover that you don't have to chase it and weave it back up! It makes you stop and freeze for a second: kinda like a Zombie! Then you just keep on knitting.
How about Dancing with the Stars last night? Those men are something else, aren't they? I was quite surprised at Steve Guttenberg...he's not half bad! And that Mario! Cristian is yum, too. Hopefully, the women will give them a run for their money tonight. Stay tuned, folks...this will be an interesting season.
Rain, rain, go away...DO NOT come again some other day (for a while, please). It's rained for the last 24 hours and we have almost 5 inches of rain so far...probably another 5 inches before it ends sometime tomorrow morning. The roads are awash and many roads are no longer drivable. The ground is so soaked from the 2 previous ice storms and snows that it is impossible for it to soak up any more.
I'm off to knit some more on a sweater that I'm working on...tonight was supposed to be a class for that same sweater but I don't have my homework done yet and the roads are so nasty that I don't relish a 30 mile drive there and back for the class...will have to try to catch up before the next Sock Madness pattern is released.
More later...

Oh, how I looooove those socks! I seriously love them. I'm gonna have to drag out my Mineshaft. That's such a great pattern...the ladders DO remind me of those little blood drip thingies on the font of the word Thriller that you see so often. Spooky! You did a great job!!!! Love them!
Man! I would 'give my right arm' to be able to knit like you! (Believe me, I have tried about 3 trillion times---not pretty.) But seeing your gorgeous pics of your gorgeous socks...well, makes me want to try just one more time.
Congratulations on getting through Round 1 in smart time! Rest time now, but also finish those WIPs, and keep the hands limbered up for Round 2! Love the colourway too.
I like those better than my first pair! Thanks for the comment on my blog, what a lovely thing to say.
I'm looking forward to round 2, can't wait to see everyone's different interpretations. Did you see I was nominated for a creative award? Well chuffed!
