I had a ton of car knitting over Mothers Day Weekend.  I was able to complete both cuffs on sock.  What's up wit the left one you ask?

When I finished the first one I decided to start the second as I work my socks in tandem so I don't get second sock syndrome.  I didn't bring my extra needles but I did have some needles with me so I put the socks on whatever I had to hold the stitches so I could use the needles for the other sock.

Now I want to add a contrasting color to the heels and toes! yay These look like the are definitely going to fit..crossing fingers!  I am ready to start the heel flap!

My socks are hanging out in my Piddleloop Bag

What's On My Wheel:

Wheel: HoneyBee

Etsy Seller: WCMercantile

Fiber: Wensleydale Wool Top 4oz

Colorway: Natural

I took my wheel to my moms for Mothers Day weekend so I could practice.  That's the benefit of having a wheel that folds :).  I am enjoying my wheel and creating all kinds of twisty mess!  lol but its how you learn right.  I kept losing the yarn, severely over spinning it and just having fun.  Here's a teenise bit on the bobbin:

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

Toodles!
