FO: Tern Diagonal Socks

I have been chasing daylight to show you my new socks.

These were the fastest, most fun to knit socks for me ever.  I think I am getting the hang of this!  The yarn is a dream.  The pattern - exactly what I needed it to be, for where I was.  I suspect that a version of these will go with me down to Belize in a few weeks for portable knitting in the jungle!  I just need to track down some more sock yarn.

They took me two weeks only to complete, primarily via NJ bus knitting (with a bit of couch sloth time thrown in as well - I should be knitting blanket squares but I can't convince my knitting-brain of that).  Their details are here.

I'm already off and running on another sock adventure.  Remember this?

 

It now looks more like this:

Please welcome the Edwardian Boating Koigu Socks into being!  The yarn is bargain-bin Koigu from Purl (only $8 per skein!)  While the pattern looks tricky, it's terribly easy to follow by sight and all you need to do is count to six otherwise, so I'm on a roll already.  I appear to achieve three pattern repeats on my morning bus ride.

24 DAYS UNTIL BELIZE

Preparation Status: MINIMAL

The countdown is on!  And I have so much to do before we leave!  And I haven't done a thing!

Okay, I bought a travel book for Belize, but I haven't started reading it yet (oops).  However, I have done a tiny bit of online digging about our upcoming adventure.  For example, our first stop will be at the Hickatee Cottagesin Punta Gorda.

I think we can handle that. 

This place is a jungle retreat near the Fallen Stones Butterfly Farm.  Our group will be taking over the entire facility (there are about a dozen of us).  The food on-site is supposed to be divine.  We have been promised monkeys and maybe a jaguar.  I guess it's good that Doolin won't be with us! 

I think I heard that we will begin our adventure on a zipline before we even get to the cottages!  Anyone else out there like a good zipline?  I've braved them in Mexico, Ecuador and Honduras - where have YOU ziplined?

Do you knit socks on four needles (well, five total I suppose), or on two, with a seam?

I love the socks (both)! I've never ziplined, though I would love to try it. I went to the SuperBowl this year and hoped to do it there, but hte lines were crazy.

Beautiful socks!

My family (parents, aunt, uncle, grandma) went to Belize last month. They had a blast! I'm excited you're "taking us along" on the trip. I love getting to see how other experienced travelers handle things.
