Round and round and round she goes,
All that’s left to knit is the toes…
I took on finishing these socks as a “fearless knitter” challenge. Due to my lack of faith in the quantity of yarn, I wanted to make sure that both socks had the exact same number of rows before the toes started. So, I plunged into doing two socks with “magic loop” to see if it would speed up the process any! Wow! The only previous experience I have had with the “magic loop” technique was a class at stitches and then I did the secret swap socks individually on magic loop, but not both at the same time. What a difference it makes to do them both at once. I can’t explain it, but it just seemed to go so much faster. Of course it helps that this was straight stockinette with just the gusset decreases for a few rows.
Now of course I would be remiss not to show you this…
That’s all the yarn that was left when I got to the last row before switching to the gold for the toes. Fearless knitting indeed!
The next sock frontier is toe up!

Those are really neat! I've never tried that technique.
