Knee socks

Started to work on the night of book sale setup (had to be at the mall for extra hours). Two socks on two circs. Using Riverbed + Fleegle Heel + a herringbone stitch + lace on the foot and sides. Heel, toe, and cuff will be purple. Hope to use a picot hem with eyelets…

Fall cable socks

Can’t wait to try this, it’s my favorite out of New Pathways 1. I started these socks and found that mid-way through the foot, my gauge changed from my originals. I should have noticed, they seemed small even though I could put them on. I wasn’t happy with my improved pattern in them the first…
