First of all I still can't believe I made it to round 7. The final round. Really it just doesn't seem real or true. But hey I did and it happened yesterday. And boy did it kick my behind!
A clever knitter figured out before the pattern realease that it was twined knitting by the teaser photo and that we needed to have our yarn in a center pull ball. I'd never done twined knitting and did some reading up on it. Thankfully or it might have kicked me even harder! The cuff; see the hearts? That thing took me 6 hours! Just the one cuff. Twined knitting makes a nice dense but squishy fabric and is neat but man is it slow. I finished the one sock then went to bed. Slept for 2 1/2 hours and was up and at it again. This is how much I'd finished when the Champion finished her socks. She's really amazing.
I will finish these socks. But we both need a bit of a time out first. And a nap...a nice long nap.
