Once upon a sock - November success

Success in this case meaning I did not knit any socks at all! I do have fairly major sock news though: During sOcotober I used my Signature 2.5mm sock needles to knit ... something. I actually can't remember what. But I love them so much. Now, I moved away from them because I needed a tighter gauge for socks, and I've been knitting on 2mm Chiaogoo double pointeds. They are good, but very smooth, and some of them have bent over the years, and they are 6 inches instead of my preferred 5. A couple of weeks ago I got told I was being made ongoing in my role (which I have been doing for over two years). Yay. To celebrate I decided to treat myself to a set of the smallest Signature needles available, which is the 2.25mm. We'll see how we go in terms of gauge. They are just so beautiful to touch and use and handle. (I also bought a matching cable needle, which is the short one there).

To celebrate, and try them out, I'm going to make my father a pair of plain socks in crazy yarn. I recently found out that the socks I've been making him aren't 10 0percent to his taste - he wants a longer leg, and doesn't value tightness like Leon does. I wanted to know why he hadn't told me earlier, but he said he was trying to be nice. I'd rather get the feedback and work towards socks that are perfect for him, so these are going to be my attempt to do just that! 

So that's my December sock knitting plans. As always, on the first Thursday of the month I'm linking up with Once-Upon-a-Sock, where we talk socks, and what we have (or in this case have not) been knitting this month!
