Halfway to a pair of socks, that is.
I started these initally as the Wasabi Peas Socks from the summer 2010 Interweave Knits. However, even though I really like this pattern, the stitches and my hands were just not a good match. The pattern is made up of a series of kfbf and p3tog and after breaking two pairs of needles, bending a third, and going to bed with aching hands I decided to go with something else. This Dragonfly Socks pattern has been in my queue for a while (and is free). I've managed to squeek one sock out of approximately 25 grams of Shibui Knits Sock yarn.
I'm going to try to get both pairs out of the one skein. I weighed it (although I don't have a digital scale) and it looks to be right around 23-25g. It's going to be a close one.
Your short-row heel looks amazing. Whoever you learned that from must be a genius!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color and beautiful pattern,

Lovely socks. I'm jealous of your perfect short row heel!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the suggestion to knit faster so the yarn won't run out :-) it's a pretty sock and will make a beautiful pair!
ReplyDeleteI love Shibui Sock yarn. Your sock is beautiful! There are some patterns that look so beautiful, but they really are a pain to knit. I'm glad you found one better suited for you.
ReplyDeletethe socks are lovely, but if i have "livin' on a prayer" stuck in my head for the rest of the night i am holding you responsible!
