New technique

Today I started my first ever two at a time toe up socks.

I blame my friend Sabine, since she hand dyed a rainbow in sock yarn, and I want to use every tiny scrap.

So a week ago I went to my closest LYS, but they didn't have the needles I needed. Boo. I then decided I could wait till Madrona Fiber Festival, when I am allowed to break the yarn diet, but then in a moment of weakness I ordered the needles on line (which was way cheaper than getting them at a store) plus I could get two different kinds, one knit picks harmony and one hiya hiya (which came with a pattern for a Barbie dress).

I immediately cast on with the help of YouTube and well, the beginning of socks are always fiddly. I'm sure they will go great.
