Three Minute Socks – Days 121-127
I have hit a knitting black hole. I feel like I keep knitting and knitting on these socks, but don’t make any progress. Despite the photographic evidence to the contrary: In the last post, Lauria did some calculating in the comments and has estimated that if I use up all of the yarn, I’ll be [...]

Three Minute Socks – Days 114-120
That’s right folks. I’ve been working on these socks for three months. At three minutes a day, that’s 360 minutes, which is exactly six hours. It doesn’t seem possible that I could get this much done in six hours: I guess that’s what happens when those minutes are complete focused on the task at hand, [...]

Three Minute Socks – Days 107-113
Another week, another Three Minute Sock update! We’ve got another stripe and a half completed. I tried the sock on this week, and I’m happy to report that the foot fits perfectly. Phew! Now we just have to get through the leg. The tricky part will be when to start the ribbing for the cuff, [...]

Three Minute Socks – Days 100-106
We’re past the 100 days mark, and the sock continues to grow. Little by little, inch by inch, centimeter by centimeter, stripe by stripe, it looks like a real sock now. I could bind off and wear this as an anklet if I wanted to. Don’t worry, I won’t. Since the timer I use for [...]

Three Minute Socks – Days 92-99
It’s Thursday, which means it’s a Three Minute Socks update! For my new readers from the Sew Mama Sew giveaway, here’s a brief recap of the Three Minute Sock project: I’m knitting a sock for three minutes each day, just to see how many days it will take. I’m taking a photo after each session [...]

Three Minute Socks – Days 86 – 92
Ninety-two days. Three months. I can’t believe I’ve been working on this project for three months already! Crazy! I’m on the third repeat of the stripes. From here on out, it’s straight knitting. I plan to work through the next full stripe repeat, and see how much yarn I have left and see about where [...]

Three Minute Socks – Days 79-85
We’re cruising right along! Which in this case means – it took most of the week, but the heel is done! Which means we really and truly have passed the halfway point, and it’s a straight shot up the leg from here on out. The heel was completed on a very hot, hot Tuesday. So [...]

Three Minute Socks – Days 72-78
Another Thursday, another Three Minute Sock update! I’m excited to say that the heel is progressing fairly quickly, despite my fumblings with the wrapped stitches. I apologize for the lumpiness of the photos. I figure that the resulting portion of the Pummelvision video I’m planning will look organic and interesting (please don’t tell me otherwise, [...]

Three Minute Socks – Days 65 – 71
Big news! Big news! We have reached the heel! Can you tell I’m excited? I didn’t think I’d ever get there. For the record, it took 70 days. Wow. I have a minor confession to make – I may have overstepped the three minute timer on those first two heel turn days. On Day 70, [...]
