Ribbed Steelers Socks

This sock was started on Sunday August 5th, the day of the first Steelers game of the year. A pre-season Hall of Fame game, but enough to get me thinking black and gold none the less. It sat on hold for at least a week while I wondered if it was too small after turning the heel three times due to my own lack of concentration. I moved past that with help from some other Steeler football and my trolley rides each morning. My progress so far...Please ignore my day-glo white skin.

I think the only thing keeping me going is knowing that my Steelers gear won't fit until later in December once the baby arrives. Hopefully it will be enough to get me through the second sock!!

Steelers are in town tonight

At FedEx Field.

Getting Started

I'm getting ready for my boys' football games and have knit up the first of my Claudia's Handpainted socks in the colorway Steelers. I love this yarn... both the feel and the look of it.

Has anyone used the Lorna's Laces Bee Stripe to make socks?

I'm just wondering if it stripes nicely or if it pools. If anyone's used it, I'd love to know how it worked out for your.

Excellent

Would just like to say YAY!!!!!!!!!! Steelers dominantly win first game of the season! Sadly I didn't get to watch any of the game, but woohoo!
