Finished these socks this morning. Well, actually I finished one last night, and the mate this morning. I love the way these socks worked up. I might use a solid color though, on the next pair I knit with this pattern. I think the pattern in the yarn detracts from the pattern in the socks. I do love this yarn though and will definitely use it again, just not with this pattern.
Now I just need to make a label for these socks and another pair of socks then list them on my website. Then I need to look through patterns and yarn again and get busy knitting up another pair of socks.
Happy Knitting!

Another day another pair of sock almost finished
I've been so busy knitting on these [Diagonal Lace Socks](pattern) by Wendy Johnson, that I'm almost finished with them. I hope to finished them sometime today. I did make one mistake on both of these socks, when joining the instep to the heel flap. The mistake was due to a hole in one side of both socks, where the joining didn't come together very well.
I frogged back down on both of these socks to where the joining began and fixed my mistake. Now I have just need to finish up the legs on both these socks and knit the 1 inch cuff. The pattern looks great so far dispite the fact that the Diagonal Lace pattern goes in the opposite direction of the original pattern.

Diagonal Lace Socks2
Day 2: I have now finished the 6 1/2 inches that I needed to knit before starting on the gusset. I've completed 4 rows of the gusset. I need to have 55 stitches on the sole of the foot for the gusset and so far only have 37 stitches.
Next time I knit these socks I may go down a needle size as up close these socks look like a large instead of a medium. I mainly use 2.75 mm dpns to knit my socks but I may have to invest in 2 mm dpns and smaller. I know that I want to try knitting socks with circulars some day so I may even buy some circulars in this size as well.

Diagonal Lace Socks
Day 1: Actually started on these socks yesterday. Took the picture this morning. I had a little trouble with the figure eight cast on at first. My fingers were all thumbs and my hands were hurting that it made it hard for me to try and knit. So I put my knitting down for about an hour.
After resting my hands I came back to my knitting and was able to get the figure eight cast on to work on the first sock. However, by the time I had got 29 stitches cast on both needles (for a 58 stitches), I needed to stop and start cooking dinner.
Then after dinner I went back to my knitting and finished casting on the remaining stitches. I ended up with the 66 stitches that the medium pattern called for and then started working on the diagonal pattern design.
I put my knitting down finally at 11:01 pm last night with only the first sock cast on, with the first pattern repeat finished. Then this morning I cast on, usingin the figure eight cast on again for the mate. I didn't seem to have any problems with the cast on this morning.
I continued knitting on the second sock until I had all 66 stitches and the first pattern repeat finished. Now I can just work back and forth on both socks. I need to knit on the foot until I have 6 1/2 inches before I start on the gusset.
Onwards and Upwards!
