I present....Mata Hari - FO !!!
Let me just say that I learn everything the hard way lately. I bound off one sock and went to try it on, only seconds after cast off I didn't expand the opening. I had already cut out my lifeline and was just livid ! I screwed up a month's worth of knitting for forgetting !!!
I learned that you sleep on it. I woke up the next day and inserted a life line and ripped out 12 rows on one sock, and a few on the other. The point is this, I FIXED IT BY MYSELF ! Plus I made my 1st picot edge after reading as much as I could online, and since I haven't a clue how to do kitchener from toe up - I grafted all my stitches to the fold over on my edge.
I IMPROVISED, and now I really feel like a "can do it" knitter.
(although the thought of working on the Knucks is soooo putting me off...)
Nini and I present, the 13 version of the Mata Hari "Craftaholic" socks !
KNITTING TIP, if anyone doesnt know, you can lifeline by sewing through stockinette on all "/" looking stitches in the pattern of the knitting.

(and yes I found my notes to post my dvd review for the pron swap. soon to be posted, AND THE RING WILL BE DONE AND READY WEDNESDAY !!)

OOoh, they look so awesome!
You are a real "can fix it" knitter now, baby :-)
You know I haven't done a picot edge before ;-)

They look great! Aren't picot edges pretty?
Alas, I have to re-start mine because I CO 56 stitches (the right size for my feet), which leaves me in the middle of a repeat and thus unable to k2tog. So I'm going up a needle size and down one repeat and hopefully that will work.

Thanks for the compliments guys :)
I really didnt want to do kitchener. I will have to learn someday, just not yet. I really love the picot edge, and am considering doing a picot edge on my 1st sweater :)
