My sister’s Christmas socks are really really close!
I have the tubes done and the remaining sock yarn stuffed in there (so I don’t lose it 😃)! I am going to see my parents soon so I hope I have time to get her foot trace. Then all I have to do is whip out two afterthought heels!
I am for sure going to insert lifelines through the stitches before I start snipping. Then I can insert the dpns into the stitches using the lifeline after the opening is created. I’ve done some googling and I feel like this is going to reduce my anxiety level. Stay tuned…..
As I’ve only knit four pairs of socks in my lifetime, I’m really looking forward to this technique. All of mine have been from the top down, too. Patiently waiting!
I have never used lifelines but at times I wonder if I should of
Love those colors! Thanks for sharing!
