This has got to be the most efficient way to finish socks ever!
A while back I learned the Magic Loop method for knitting in the round. I liked it. But the BEST part about using Magic Loop technique for socks is that you can do two socks at the same time. It’s a bit of a balancing act–you have to weigh the pros (no second sock syndrome & extremely easy portability)
against the cons (the possibilities of a horrific yarn tangle jump exponentially)–but I really enjoyed my first try:
I did my vanilla sock recipe and used an afterthought heel again. The snipping doesn’t get any easier, but I do so like the way it looks with striped yarns. This yarn is Regia Design Line with Kaffe Fassett’s colors. I like the mix of colors…I’d never have picked them all to go together, but I just love how they turned out.
My pile is almost gone!

I have to ask…what yarn is that? I’m somewhat obsessed with it.
Great job!
