all packed and ready to go

I finished plying the BFL last night – approx. 700 yards destined to become my first pair of two at a time, toe-up socks on two circs!  I have my Knitty instructions, my Knit Picks size 1 24″ circs and my pattern (Maybe.  Or maybe I should make these knee socks – knit till I run out of yarn.  I’ll decide after I knit the toes).

This is what I had leftover when I was done plying.  I’m going to use it to reinforce the toes and heels – which will make them three ply.

The only thing I DIDN’T do was teach my 11 year old how to drive so I could knit on the way to Indiana.  Next time, I’ll plan better.

    Beautiful yarn! Good idea to use the extra for toes and heels.

    That is a great idea about reinforcing! The yarn is so fantastic. You did a great job!

    11 year old driving? I think you are better off not knitting!;) Have a great trip!

    The yarn is gorgeous! Let me know how the adventure goes. I need to knit both socks at once, so I need to learn as well. Maybe I’ll wait for you to master this technique so that you can help me! I’ll keep my fingers crossed!
