Finished one of my monkey socks last weekend, and hope to have the other done soon. It would be great if I could take my knitting with me on the plane this weekend, but I'm a little scared that they may think my needles are too sharp and weapon-like at security. Yes, it sounds silly, but the needles I'm using are very small and aluminum and sort of sharp. Though they are probably no more dangerous than a pen, I guess they could be thought of as a potential plane hijacking device. I would hate to lose my yarn, needles, etc, so I probably won't risk it. The socks might just have to wait.
One note about the first finished sock...It is great! I'm surprised how good it looked, actually. The pattern is really pretty, and the color looks wonderful too. Plus, I used the kitchener (sp??) stitch to graft the toe closed, and now I understand why this stitch is so amazing. The finishing looks really professional, and hardly looks stitched closed. It looks like the toe seam just kissed itself closed. Right now, the socks is a little lumpy and needs to blocked before I will let anyone see it. Once both are complete and ready for wear, I'll post some pictures.
