Today was not the day I envisioned. The confluence of my allergies and lack of sleep was not a good combination for doing my normal activities.

But the combination was good to hang about and work on my “Say Yes to Pie” (working title??) socks. I am going to do the heels together, so I’m going to call this pair 45% complete.

When I initially wrote about these socks a couple weeks ago, I mentioned that I was going to be doing a bunch of new techniques. Well, today I tried Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-off in pattern (2×2 rib). I think it should be called Jeny’s Surprisingly Tedious Bind-off; it felt like it was never going to end. I USUALLY do a knit-two-together bind-off. I’m fast at it and I don’t need to think. Jeny’s technique is slightly stretchier than my “usual” stretchy bind-off. Looks about the same.

One response to “Progress Report: Socks, Blanket.”
Isn’t it a faff! I did a whole 200-odd stitch lace-weight jumper bind off with that.
