I have decided to go with the Lacy Scallop Socks for my Sockapalooza socks, my pal stated she didn’t make long socks as she had larger calves, so I thought this pattern would be better as the lace is stretchy rather than the Razor Shell which is more ridged (like with Jaywalkers). I also thought I would only do 5 repeats of the lace pattern to make socks shorter.

After, Indieknits pointed out Wednesday was a good telly night, I decided this would be the evening devoted to girly shows and knitting socks, I finished my sister’s Jaywalkers and cast on the Lacy Scallop. I have decided to make this socks on DPN’s rather than on two circular needles, as I have no idea about magic loop knitting! The picot edging took a little longer than I thought – and I ended up in a bit of a mess, knitting from two needles at once is extremely strange – but I am pleased with the results.

Rather than getting carried away with sock knitting last night, I thought I would devote some time to finishing of my older projects, the problem is I hate all those little jobs like weaving in ends, which is something I forgot when I decided to knit my mohair striped jumper. It took my about two months to finish the second sleeve in this sweater and now it has been sitting in my stash bag for over 3 months, waiting to me to weaving in the mohair ends - but I finally did it and the finished sweater is waiting to be blocked – let’s just hope it doesn’t have to wait another few months.
