I’ve made very little progress on the afghan. But I finally got ONE no show Sneaker socks finished. TaDa!!!
Starting with cast on. I over did the Turkish cast-on. The toe ended squarish.
The arch needed a few more rows of ribbing.
The heel part has been tinked so many times I was worried the yarn was splitting. Right now I’m retinking the second sock. Here’s why:
The pattern confused me. The YouTube wasn’t clear enough. And it was confusing.
I finally got the shadow wrap. But the next part made me separate the socks. No more Two At A Time. But I only have one long ChiaoGoo Red-lace Circular Needle in size 1. So I put one sock on DPNs. I could fold them up and keep the sock from fraying or straying.
That left one sock on the ChiaoGoos. That made the rest a little easier to understand. I’m still not sure I understand the shaping of the upper heel but it fits nicely.
The ribbing at the top of the sock was short and easy. But the cast offs the YouTube suggests makes no sense so I used my favorite one.
Here are the YouTube tutorials.
The worst part is our Internet isn’t working properly. So watching anything streaming, even on my phone is painful. I had to miss my friends on Zoom today because of it. Ugh! They say it’ll be fixed by Sunday. I’m not holding my breath! Out here in the Oregon Outback it is a desert of everything.
Oh, well, back to tinking.
Ugh! I understand internet problems completely! Yesterday my husband got so mad at Hulu he cancelled the service. Never since we got our t-mobile hotspot has Hulu not been able to restore our service because of the ipo changing on our location constantly due to our moving locations so much. When the agent said they weren’t allowed to do it for people with a hotspot, he told her everyone else he’s dealt with fixed it right away! When she refused, he said to cancel it and he’d find another service. Isn’t that ridiculous? But here, at my brothers house, he has no true internet, just hotspots. Ours and his. Maybe that was the problem.
It is all so frustrating right now. All streaming is going sky high while being less avaiable. Grr!!!
I know. And my brother won’t come out of the dark ages because all he watches is old crap anyway. When we get to our next place, David will hook up the new satellite and we’ll be all set! 🤞🏻
Good Idea!
