Socks as Currency

Andrea's socks are coming along. I was using the two-at-once-toe-up-magic loop method and enjoying it quite a bit; not having to worry about matching the sizes or lengths, and the benefit of having both socks finished at the same time.

I knew the cable was too short for comfort for this method, but was making do until it came time to pick up the gusset stitches. I had to remove one of the socks from the circular, and even so it was difficult to manage so many stitches on one needle. Perhaps I picked up too many stitches. Next sock I need to count the stitches I plan to pickup beforehand to ensure I pickup the same number on all four gussets.

I hope they are not too small!
