You’re doing great!!! Won’t be long until you turn the heel and after that you’re on the home stretch.

I tried something so you guys don’t have to: I accidentally tested the Drops Fabel superwash treatment and it passed!

Somehow a sock ended up with a load of laundry that went into the hot cycle, then spent two hours in the dryer, and it looks the same as when it went in.

I typically buy superwash treated sock yarn but I’m still careful washing handknits. The label says wash on warm gentle cycle, don’t machine dry.

I’m glad your sock survived the dryer, @Immaculata! I’ve accidentally dried a few, myself.

This is the second sock. Another WIP almost done. Yay!

Getting there. His b’day is tomorrow so not sure I’m gonna make it in time but I’ll give it the ol’ college try.

Thanks! I love that yarn, too. Thanks, @tendstowardschaos for sharing it in your Spring 2003 sock adventures! I bought it when you shared the brand/name (Kroy) but am only getting to it now.

You’re welcome. :blush: It’s knitting up beautifully.

You’re so close! You can do it!

Very cool sock ruler, BTW.

Toes all seamed up…just a million (okay, 32) ends to weave in. :joy::sob:

Yay!! They look great! Weaving in lots of ends is the only downside of stripes.

@AntBee did you manage to finish that second sock in time?

Good work, @tendstowardschaos !

I haven’t finished yet, these humans i live with keep stealing my “down time” and time I should have had alone to work on it kept getting pulled to go do things with them so I gave him the one sock and showed him the nearly finished second one. There isn’t too much further to go, just gotta get the time!
