DSC00342.JPG Originally uploaded by rhymer573 The Toe-Up Tigers Are Done! I finished them late last night while watching a movie on the TV machine. These were my first ever toe-up socks and the first pair I knitted simultaneously. I really enjoyed this method–no second sock syndrome! Instead of making two separate balls of yarn, I [...]
