I was knitting yesterday also, I worked on my second sock for awhile then went back to the sweater.<BR/><BR/>I just took a book back to the library where you knit 2 socks on one magic loop. Other than a quick peruse of the pictures I didn't spend much time with it. I'm sure once you figure out how to do the cast on it would be a breeze and then you wouldn't get caught in the second sock syndrome.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912482730305630798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36309506.post-49591656526939998582008-04-08T20:32:00.000-05:002008-04-08T20:32:00.000-05:00It sure did snow out here.
