One Ball Wonders...

Happy Monday everyone!  At least I am doing my best to be happy; on one hand I am feeling better, so that is a big plus, on the other hand, there is a few inches of snow on the ground with no signs of stopping.  Ugh!  I am so sick of winter, just yesterday I was celebrating how we only had a tiny bit of snow left, and now this.  Okay, enough of me complaining and on with the show. 

To celebrate spring, today's pattern is a light project and something that I am actually working on right now, the Triton Socks, a free pattern by Laura Sparling.  The Triton Socks are lacy and knit toe-up on two circular needles, DPNs or the way I am knitting them is two at a time with Judy's Magic Cast On.  Being the first time I've tried two at a time with Judy's Magic Cast On, I don't think that this would have been the pattern I would have chosen, but it seems to be working with having to fix some mistakes along the way.  Also, I prefer longer cuffs, so I plan on knitting until  I run out of yarn.  Solid, light colors or slightly variegated colors will work the best for showing off the pattern of these socks.

Gather up a skein of 4 ply fingering weight yarn, your needles and a tape measure and lets get knitting the Triton socks.  Note, if using Judy's Magic Cast On, you will need to divide your skein of yarn into two balls.
