You knew it was going to happen...

I got my STR SOTM package yesterday, went directly upstairs, wound up the ball, and cast on.



Silk! And the colorway!!!

But it's a toe up pattern - and I NEVER do toe up. But I'm just going to follow the directions, and hopefully all will work out.

Off to work. It's a cold rainy day here, and I have a cold. I would MUCH rather be staying in bed, sleeping late, and then knitting on my socks all day. Time to buy a lotto ticket.

    I love this shipment and started mine right away as well. I am trying both the toe up and the two circs and we'll see how it goes!

    I received mine yesterday, too, but I can't start them for a while :(

    I've never done toe-up either, but I plan to give it a shot with these.

    Did you stick w/the pattern's cast on instructions?

    I'm thinking of switching as I can't see having consistent stitches w/the backward lopp cast on method.

    I did Judy's cast on from knitty and love it. I don't know her but that woman is a genius. Try it, your stitches come out all even and full of goodness. You won't regret it.
