Secret Knitting

I'm working on a gift right now, and so as to not take chances, I'm kind of keeping that project under wraps. 

In my quest for lever knitting greatness, or at least lack of ineptitude, that's how I'm knitting right now on circular needles and on DPNs. I did figure out that I can't use magic loop and lever, at least not on my ChiaoGoo needles (cable gets in my way), so I have 1 project using each method on the needles right now. The circular needle project you can see later, and for the DPN project, I'm bringing one out of hibernation (actually restarting because I fucked it up last year). 

This is how they looked before the giant cock-up. Lesson learned from these socks: When knitting a sock pattern by Cookie A; put in a lifeline before the heel flap. That way when you fuck up the gusset/instep (which I frequently do at least once), you don't have to rip out the entire sock (too much knitting through the back loop and yarn overing for me to rip back and put back on the needles without a lifeline. I shed a tear or two.
