July 1st: Orioles (7) - Royals (5)

Yippee!  BRob got a homer.  Great job BRob and other Orioles!  Keep at those double plays and strike outs.

I bought the blue yarn for these socks in 2005.  I thought I would learn how to knit socks at that time, but I didn't learn until November 2007.  Most sock yarn is sold in a yardage long enough for socks that come mid-calf.  I like knee highs.  I didn't know about yardage in 2005 so I didn't buy enough yarn.  Anyhoo, great way to use up scraps :)

120 rows of k2p2 for the cuff and leg
Blue is Karabella Aurora 4, color 21
Green is Rowan 4-ply soft, shade 367
I taught myself how to knit on circulars (THANK GAWD!)  When I originally learned how to knit, I moved to circulars in a heart beat.  I don't think I completed any pre-sock projects on non-circular needles.  Now that I finally know how to knit socks on circulars I can't see myself going back to double pointed needles.  What a pain.  With circulars stitches don't fall off, and I can't figure out why, but there isn't a ladder.
