Hee!!
I did it.
It started small…my first attempts were even smaller. Then…well, then it just magically worked. Okay not 100% magically, I still have a couple of needles that aren’t too happy to be pressed into service so the beginning of this has some really big holes and I have to pay attention to each round and form some stitches myself once in a while but last night…*sigh* Last night, I knit 6 inches of sock in less than five minutes.
Six inches. Less than five minutes…think about that.  I don’t know about you all but my math is telling me this…
I CAN BUY MORE SOCK YARN!!!!!!!!!!

That’s just crazy talk! Six inches in five minutes–yehaw!

Oh brother.

Hehe…looks like you are having fun! I still can’t get mine to stop dropping stitches. It is driving me nuts!

More sock yarn, yeah! Nice “accidental” purchase
June 14th, 2007 at 10:47 am
Wow, that was fast! And apparently you have a knack for assembling lots of pieces into something useable. Does this mean everyone in your immediate circle will be receiving socks for Christmas?
June 14th, 2007 at 11:05 am
lol! That’s some fast socks!
June 14th, 2007 at 11:59 am
That is awesome!!! Knit-on, sista!
June 14th, 2007 at 12:46 pm
Wow. Six inches? Are you sure?
June 14th, 2007 at 2:27 pm
Hang on, does that sock have a heel flap? Maybe it’s just the angle, but I could swear I see a heel flap in that last picture. How’d you do that?!
June 14th, 2007 at 2:41 pm
Oh how cool!!!! You are right, you will be through your sock yarn stash in no time. You must buy more, now!!
June 14th, 2007 at 3:29 pm
Holy Cow! Jess, you’ll be the Queen of Socks in no time!
Good for you!
June 14th, 2007 at 4:05 pm
How cool is that?!?
June 14th, 2007 at 5:04 pm
Oh, cool, cool, cool!!! And I like the way your “new math” works…..
June 14th, 2007 at 6:22 pm
LOL! More sock yarn is in order for sure!!!
June 14th, 2007 at 10:33 pm
Oh… my… GAWD!!!! That is too cool.
June 14th, 2007 at 10:41 pm
LOL!! You can start shopping now!
June 15th, 2007 at 1:22 am
Wow! But how does it do the heel???
June 18th, 2007 at 11:37 am
Congrats! Those sock machines are quite dangerous animals. I can see how easily you can get sucked in. Oh, yes, you can definitely buy more sock yarn, but perhaps use up a bit more sock yarn stash first before buying? (hehe)

OMG that is so freekin’ cool! Congrats on your purchase. And now I know why you left that comment on the SOS blog… remember lady, I’m watchin’ you!
