Spring Cable
July 4th, 2007
I was browsing through the Ravelry pattern database looking for a sock pattern for my new sock.
Oh, I didn’t tell you? I finished my cotton socks. I finished a couple of things last night, but I’ll have more time to post about those later.
Anyways, I had a set of open US 1 needles, and two skeins of sock yarn waiting to jump on the needles. I’ve been really excited to knit with my new Tofutsies yarn, and have finally decided to move away from just the basic sock. I found the perfect pattern, and it’s only slightly a pattern (if you call a cable surrounded by moss stitch on a pattern).
I must tell you I loves me some well placed moss stitch as a detail. Unfortunately the yarn is too bright, as well as the light, to see the cable detail well.
Anyway, here is the link to the pattern at Elinor’s website. It’s called Spring Cable, and was actually meant for a man’s sock. Serendipity struck again, because my use of a thinner yarn brought the size down to just exactly what I needed. I’m loving the simplicity of this pattern, and it’s so easy to remember. I’ve only got a little bit done but I don’t think these will take too long to finish. I’m even enjoying the cuff if you can believe it, so I don’t think this will be an anklet as usual.
squee! I’m so glad you’re liking it! Let me know if you find any problems/confusing bits in the pattern (you are the perfect guinea-pig-knitter for me), if you don’t mind. I like the way the yarn looks: shiny! Lookin’ good.
Oh, enjoy your Tofutsies! I should have known you’d pick a shade of green.
