March 2016 Knitting

What is on your needles?
I made a pair of socks a few years ago when I was working on my continental technique. My gauge was off a bit, so the socks never fit correctly. They were too large, and because of that they were not comfortable and I was always pulling them up.
So, here is a picture of me frogging my sock.

so that I can make another pair of socks!

This time I am making anklets and using a smaller size needle, so I am hopeful they will fit. I like the two circular needle method of knitting in the round, and I have two 24" size US#1 needles to work these socks.
Here is a tip: if you are frogging (rip it, rip it) some socks (or probably anything you plan to re-knit right away), do not roll the yarn into a ball. Just knit the yarn as it comes off the sock.
