took the idea of Sister Janie, expanded the width of the motif, and then stretched the space between increase/decrease rows out. Like a waterfall!
top down sleeveless – garter at the sleeve edges. contrast color underbust band applied edging with stitches picked back up. lace from underbust down, with the contrast color at either side in intarsia. faking intarsia in the round by wrap and turn alternating with ssk for stability at the turning point. hoping to do some…
frogged, they were just too tight for my feet! i love the cable, it was just hard to do at my tight sock gauge!
improving to be toe-up. toe is upside down, using kfb as the increases. Added a few extra stitches to the bottom of the foot to account for the slightly lighter yarn. heel will be garter short row (see http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/garter-toes)
Finally making socks out of the yarn from Sock Summit 2011! Found this pattern/recipe on Just One More Row’s stripey sock threads. Used my normal JMCO + Cat Bordhi toe, 2 at a time on 2 circs. Learned the Sweet Tomato heel. Bound off with a picot bind off. Submitted to Knitabulls stripey sock knitalong
