The first sock done! DK pattern and Schoeller & Stahl Limbo Color Col: 2539 - bought from Web Of Wool at Woolfest [they have just updated their website by the way - it's great] I'm totally in love with this yarn! It's like TV white snow but in glorious technicolour. It pains me to stop halfway through - although I have cast on the second sock and done a few rows just to avoid SSS. As it's DK yarn it goes so much faster - and is lovely, cosy and autumnal. The middle pic is my very first shot at kitchener stitch ... it was doubly-hard as I didn't really understand *what* kitchener stich is. I didn't realise until I saw a finished pic somewhere on the internet that it's a stitch that makes it look like there is no join - just knitting continued around the toe. Mine doesn't look like that ... But it's fantastically comfortable, and sock #2 will be better!
Hiya, love your scarf, that's the yarn from Uruguay or something, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteOkay, as for your sock, would you like the fit better if you pulled the heel gusset down at the back till it touches the floor, then see if you need to unwind a couple of inches at the toe and redo the toe decreases sooner?
I know it would involve a wee bit of frogging, but only so far, and it might make you enjoy the fit better and feel more up to tackling the second sock. x K
