On the Needles Friday

Well, my Boxy sweater is back on track.  After many false starts, I think I've finally got it.  I kept twisting my work somehow, so I tried a suggestion on Ravelry and knitted the first four rows flat and then joined.  Woohoo!  I've knitted three inches this week.  Considering how tired I have been after work and my increased running/training schedule, that is pretty good.
I also made some progress on my Noro socks.  It had been so long since I had knitted on them I forgot what color they were!  We had a four hour webinar on EEO relations at work, so I took the sock.  I think I actually pay attention better when my hands are busy.  I finished the gusset and knitted several inches on the foot.  I have never used Noro sock yarn before.  Does it repeat?  Also, the center pull gave me another big hairball of yarn.  ;(
I do love the colors though.

  2. Your sock looks great. I love that the leg looks longer than the normal pattern usually is. Around our circle we call those yarn hairballs = yarn barf. :)

  3. Great idea about knitting flat and then joining to make it in the round. Your socks are great! Yarn hairballs are no fun!!
