Yes, I've given in and had a go at knitting socks on 2 circs. Love it. No idea why I didn't bother learnign before. i'm hoping this will be the solution to my 2nd sock syndrome.

Here is a pair for a friend's son in progress

and here it is finished, it's Yarn Yard Organic Merino and hte other pair is Yarn Yard too, an old club yarn.

A pair of Tofutsies, which was horrible to knit, done on dpns

and one pair of Jitterbugs also on dpns

The Yarn Yard socks wer efor a friend's son who loved them and hte other two pairs are for Em. Both Em and Joseph (my friend's son) are off on a school trip to Isle of Wight all next week and fopefully the socks will keep their feet lovely and warm. I'm hoping ot get another pair done for Em  this week. At the moment I'm doing the Sockamania March socks on circs.

Not bad for a week and a few days. Very Happy

I've got another 2 socks on the go right now. Cast on this morning and only about an inch or so to go for the toe. They're for Em (size 1/2) so not too big and need to be finished tonight as she's off to the Isle of Wight tomorrow moring. So that makes it 5 pairs of kids socks (all size 1/2) and one Sockamania sock (just a single one) this week. Next week I'm having a break from socks. Wink
