Super Quick Knit!

Well, as amykins suggested, knitting a sock with 32 stitches was indeed super quick! I threw in a few rows of purl to break things up a bit, but otherwise, this pair a just good old stocking stitch, with "easy toes" (from Sensational Knitted Socks) and short row heels. The Patons Inca yarn was really nice to knit with.

They're thick, and very cosy, and will keep my size nines warm this winter. In fact, they're keeping them warm right now! I had just been intending to post my progress from last night (I end up taking one to my meeting instead of my other unfinished pair - go figure), and those picutres are to the left.

However, with no effort at all I finished them off today after signing off from work, and here they are!

I wildly overestimated the amount of yarn I'd need, so I've got plenty left for another pair or possibly two. In getting my camera out to take the pictures though, the thin cloth cover tore, so I think I'll use a little to whip up a little case for my camera first. The resulting fabric is certainly more resilient and cushioned than the existing cover, and still less bulky than my actual camera case.

The short break from Sock Knitting will give me a chance to decide which yarn and pattern will be next!
