Here’s a photo of my favorite sock knitting in progress. This is a beautiful green heather sock yarn that I brought back from my trip to England. I started this sock last spring and then put it aside for the summer. Now I’m ready to finish both socks so I can wear them soon. I used my basic sock pattern. It’s the Classic Sock Pattern from Yankee Knitter Designs (Pattern #29). I’ve found that this pattern works with all my yarns and I continue to change the pattern stitch that I use. This is the first time that I’ve done a cable sock. The design was inspired by a cardigan that I had a few years ago. The stitch repeat is k2, p1, k4, p1. Every fifth row I’m cabling the knit 4 section. After I took this picture yesterday, I started working on the sock again and had the heel finished before the end of the evening. So now I’m off to watch a little TV and hopefully finish the foot so that tomorrow I can work on the toe section and then start the other sock. I’m determined to finish this pair of socks by the end of next weekend
. Because…….
This beautiful Misti Alpaca sock yarn is waiting to be used. This is not from my stash but a new purchase right before Thanksgiving. I’m not sure what stitch pattern to use for this yarn but I’m sure as I wind the yarn, the yarn will help me decide.
