First try at toe-up socks, so far, I\u2019ve just finished the short rows (wrap & turn) for the toe.\u00a0 I\u2019m still deciding if I\u2019ll add a pattern with some lace or not.<\/p>\n
Update, 7\/9. I\u2019m working on this sock really slowly. It\u2019s what I carry with me when I want something to knit out out of the house, but I just haven\u2019t been concentrating on it solely for any long periods. I\u2019m amazed it\u2019s growing as fast as it is because of that!<\/p>\n
Update, 8\/6. I made it through the heel after a few false starts. Then I started on heart lace for the leg, and I just had too much of a hard time with k4tog and sk4p using these little needles and yarn. So I had an awful time ripping it back and did a lifeline in case I needed to do it again! I switched to \u201cleaves of grass\u201d from the stitchionary, and that was much more attainable. I\u2019m almost done now, and will do a rib at the top to help them stay up. I also increased one more each multiple (6 multiples to a round) on the last repeat of the pattern to try and be sure they\u2019ll work over my calf nicely.<\/p>\n
Finished the second sock on September 5th, in time to wear to my knitting group at the library. The leaves of grass pattern turned out great. The second sock took much less time than the first. I finished them with a yarn over bindoff from my knitting reference book. The colorways are slightly different between the two socks (one has more purple), but it\u2019s not noticeable unless you look close. I love them, my favorite socks so far!<\/p>\n
