Chutes and ladders

What awful ladders along the side! I’m much better with two circular needless than using just one in the magic loop method. Unfortunately, I’ve only got one size 1 needle, so magic loop it is, even if it is only a 24″ needle and thus a bit short for that purpose. We do with what we have.

These fit me perfectly. Unfortunately, they’re for my father, whose feet are a half inch larger than mine. D’oh! I’ll have to swing by later and see if they work. I don’t think they will, but it can’t hurt to check.

At least I left that big blue lifeline in there, so it won’t be too hard to rip back and redo.

These will eventually have a Charlie Brown stripe around the ankle. Before I can finish these, though, I owe slippers to several people before Christmas. Busy busy!

    Instead of ripping, I’d just snip a stitch at the lifeline, unravel a row, put both sets of stitches on needles, knit half an inch and graft. Otherwise, Charlie Brown socks? Awesome!
