Hopefully I’ll finish the Balloon Diamond Painting by next week. I like the pretty colors, but all the dark skies are hard on my eyes.
I hope I have enough of this yarn for a full pair of at least anklets.
Because my friend and I seem to go through our heels and sometimes toes, I found a pattern in A La Carte Toes -Up book.https://a.co/d/7XRqJGT   

The thing is, there aren’t many YouTubes teaching open-toe cast-on for two at a time, magic loop, long cable needles. In this case Chiaogoo 40″. Still by casting on (long-tail) 1/2 of sock one, drop 1st sock yarn, pick up sock yarn 2. Long tail cast-on first half of sock two. I used a marker between front and back, then cast-on second half of sock two. Slide down sock two. Pinch and pull to divide front and back by magic loop. Now finish casting on second half of first sock.

It is fiddly at first, but now it’s coming together. The pattern calls for stockinette stitch between toes and heel. But I plan on an inch of stockinette then the arch ribbing that feels so good.

Another slipper sock pair. This is my favorite yarn.
This is a fun yarn. But fine yarn and needles make it more difficult.
Finally, Sammie wanted to be a part of the blog. He’s a small tiger now and so very confident.

I hope to add a Warts and All video next week. I have four songs that are working on me.
