Vacuuming Mishap


My new vacuum cleaner is a monster! It sucked up my latest project. Luckily the socks survived but my circular needles didn't! Socks in progress are Opal Hundertwasser Der Blaue Mond/Blue Moon. Needles were Knitpicks 40" Harmony circulars size 1. I knew I'd break them eventually...I just didn't see it happening this way! Pattern is a mixture of Knitpicks two socks on one circular free pattern and my own modifications to make them knee socks. Can't say I'm too crazy about the heel design. And matching up stripes is harder than I thought it would be using this method since it appears that even tho they are the same dye-lot the print on the yarn is different.
