Sock Update

February 13th, 2007

Corey’s socks are complete, except for a bit of finishing on the bind-off, and weaving in all of the ends. They turned out pretty good except for a bit of tightness in the ankle. Although, he says he doesn’t notice anything, so I guess I should just let it be.

For the past few days I’ve been working on my socks, and I have fallen in love with this color of yarn. I’m frustrated because I’m only on the first sock still, because I’ve had to reknit the heel several times. It’s difficult because I’m almost guessing at when to start the gusset, how much to increase, etc.

I was going to do the cuff in a 1×1 ribbing, but I’m rethinking that. Incessant ribbing hurts my hands, and I have a lot of yarn left for the cuff. I think that since these socks will go up my calves, I should just do them stockinette with a 1/2″ ribbed cuff at the top. I’m now in the home strech on this last one!

I’ve been putting off posting about these socks for a few days, as I have been unable to get decent pictures of the way the colorway is knitting up. I love it, and I want to share the coolness that is purple and green stripes. I know it sounds gross, but it looks great! I realized that the reason my photos are sometimes blurry, sometimes really clear is due to the amount of sunlight coming in the window. When it’s the middle of a sunny day, I get much better pictures than otherwise. Looks like I’ve got a few days before I can get some good pictures, what with the impending snow!
