A second try at Sock Wars Socks:
I know I was soundly defeated early on in Sock Wars, but,
I'm part of the Never Say Die group
So
I started another pair of Sock Wars Socks using the same pattern, but these are for myself. I think. The top cast on edge seems to be a little tight for my chubby calves.
But, they're in KnitPicks beautiful Elegance. Alpaca and silk. It feels so good to knit this. I'm doing bost socks at once, top down on two circular bamboo needles. I've gone back and forth between one and two needles a couple of times so far.
Last night I started the heel flap, so we'll see how it goes.

Sock Wars Brutal ....

Wow, Sock Wars was rough on me! As a neophyte sock knitter, I was killed off so fast it was embarrassing. I am so mortified. But, I will have my revenge someday.
I'm going into training, after a recovery period at an undisclosed knitter's rehab center, to be ready to enter the next Sock Wars as an experienced veteran.

As inspiration, I am wearing my wonderful Butternut color KnitPicks classic wool socks every chance I get. Since sending off my pitiful partially started pair of socks to be finished by my very kind and talented assassin, the generous Sock Goddess, I have started no less than 4 pairs of socks and finished one pair. DH knows I have lost my mind, but he's really perplexed by this behavior.

I need a 12 step program to get through this. This blogging is part of the therapy.
