For the sake of all knitter-kind, I pushed the Crystalline Lattice socks, the Marble Arches socks, the Jaywalker socks, the tongue to the frog slippers, and even the Paton's Wrap Cardigan, to the bottom of the WIP pile. Yes, I, Meg, am sacrificing all that for the good of knitters everywhere.
Those Rainbow Socks on Magknits are toooooo cuuuuuute! Squeeeee! But they're written for (a) cuff down, and (b) The Dreaded DPNs. So, DM posed the question - Can they be done on circulars? One circular? Two? A little bit of brainstorming (with DK weighing in as well) and we decided that it could be done. It might be awkward, and there's definitely going to be a lot of "do this here, then don't forget to do it there" going on... but we believe it's doable.
So, in the name of short-rows-on-circular-needles research, I have cast on (toe-up, one circular) into the abyss. Well, not really, but that sounds rather grand, don't you think? I'm still working on the toe increases, so there's no data to collect at this point - but soon, very soon...
