UFO is done!!!

The UFO KAL has been an inspiration to me… I had started a pair of socks a couple of years ago (well that’s how long it’s been since KP has sold the yarn!)…

it was very sad, laying in a forgotten bag, the needles stripped (two circs) from it… the color was Memories “Easter”… The name inspired a deadline–get it done by Easter! I finished knitting them using the magic loop method (I used Options fixed circulars in 40″ size 2) and I’m excited to say, I met my deadline! they were done last night and I’m sporting them today!!! I got the pattern from “More Sensation Knitted Socks” by Charlene Schurch. and I’ve got them pictured on the new sock blockers tool from Knit Picks…
I’m so inspired by finishing this project that I’m contemplating a knit-a-long from the book “Knitting Goes Large” by Sharon Brandt… watch for a posting in the next week or two!

PS: there must be an optical illusion going on with my picture… these socks were both knitted at the same time and exactly the same size!! <
