Starting Over
May 4th, 2008 by jae
I did the only thing I could do with a sock that refused to commit to a gauge. I sent a nearly-finished-still-on-the-needle sock to my dad. Who, to his credit, suspended his belief that it would be possible to wear such a thing. It is too wide in the arch, and a little short in the cuff.
My solution to the problem? I knit myself a pair of socks.
Yarn: Noro Kureyon Sock yarn, color #180
Pattern: Woven Waves by me (available in June)
Needles: US2 Addi turbo, magic loop
Then I started over with his.
ok, so he suspended his belief that he can wear it – does that mean he’s sending it back for unraveling and re-knitting?
And you want to know why I don’t knit socks?!?
pssst, we have news, call me
Nice socks. The color ways are very similar, aren’t they?
So you have lustworthy Noro socks on your feet, and bribe-worthy Kaffe Fassett yarn on your needles? Your eyeballs are in happy place right now, aren’t they? (not jealous, nononononnooooo, only a smidge!)
Love your socks. how do you like the noro yarn? i’ve heard some pretty mixed reviews about it.
those are nicely done! perfect for that particular yarn. i might be convinced to do another pair of noro socks, even though i thought that i might be done with it!
Ooohh, love the Waves socks. Do you need a test-knitter (hint hint). Of course I’m just looking for an advanced copy of the pattern. I got some yarn while I was in New York and it’s itching to be something, I just don’t know what yet.
