Olympic Update #1
I'll be honest, I didn't make much progress on my socks this weekend. I managed to cast on Friday, but by the time I got to pick them back up on Sunday I realized that I wasn't going to be able to knit two socks on one circular without some major sock knowledge. So I ripped back and cast on for just one. Then a few rows in I dropped a few stitches that I couldn't salvage. And since they were coming out larger than expected, I went down a size and cast on once again. I was able to eke out a few rows before bed and another few this morning before taking the photo you see here. I was able to do a few more during some breaks in my training this afternoon, so I feel a little better about it. So far, knitting on two circulars is definately easier than knitting on DPNs. I'll see how well it goes once I get to the heel flap.
