As some of you may have noticed from my progress bars, I've started a new pair of socks for my friend Aaron. He's been nagging me for a pair since I started knitting again, and since I have so much yarn left from Pioneer, I've been coerced into using it to knit a pair of "Boyfriend Socks" by Alice Bell. The pattern is pretty neat, toe up with short-row heels. This will be the first time I've done toe-up, and last time i used a heel-flap, but i think I'm really getting to like this method of construction. I've already turned the heel and I'm about to start the cuff, which means extending the pattern from the top of the foot all the way around the cuff, but thats only 6 inches worth and I reckon I'll be starting the second sock tomorrow! I may end up having to do another pair as I'm almost sure a certain someone was eyeing them covetously...
Just to briefly explain the progress bars - They're a nifty bit of code from the clever people at Ravelry which relays how much of your projects you have completed. So at the moment you can see Aaron's socks there, and my Great American Aran Afghan, but when I first added the bars to my blog, you would have seen Pioneer and the Afghan. No doubt some time in the not too distant future, both will be finished and this bit of blurb will make no sense at all :-P Still I thought it was a pretty cool way to keep you all up to date on all my projects.
