Maverick Knitting!

Of course I brought knitting with me to Cali but for the second sock of the Pretty Toes Pedicure Socks KAL from Knitters Brewing.

Did I remember a crochet hook for provisional cast on or a cable needle for the cabling,,,,of course not, so I went all Maverick on it and got the sock going!  Since I've been crocheting since I was 4 and my Mom started me out with making finger chains that is what I did for the provisional cast on HA!
And since I prefer the two cable needle method of knitting I always have an extra needle dangling so I used that as my cable needle, a little cumbersome at first but worked famously! HA!
and a closer view of the actual cabling:
My right sock done and my left sock well underway!  Yeah me! LOL
