Bougainvillea Socks

O Happy Day! My Bougainvillea socks are done! They were my first attempt at socks on two circulars, and as such, I thought it only fitting to use Cat Bordhi's Basic Sock Pattern to try it out. You may remember that I wondered if I was crazy while I worked on the first sock, because so many knitters l-o-v-e this method, however, I found myself missing my DPNs. Yet, I wanted to reserve judgement until I had finished the pair. Didn't want to jump to any hasty conclusions. Well, now that I've completed a pair, I can say that...while I don't hate this method (hate is such a strong word), I will be knitting my next pair of socks on DPNs.


I did enjoy knitting these socks, though, I must say. I may or may not have mentioned before that I llllllove this yarn. Cherry Tree Hill supersock. And get a load of these colors! Well, sadly, you can't so much, because it seems that no light can ever do it justice. I've tried all kinds of lighting situations, people, and unfortunately for you, it looks so much prettier and more vibrant in person. The pinks! The purples! The greens! Aagh! Hopefully you can get at least an idea of it's beautiousness in these photos or the ones back here.

I'm not saying I will never knit socks on circulars ever again, but all I can think about right now is how I can't wait to bust out the trusty ol' DPNs and cast on for another pair of socks. Now, to decide on a pattern...
