Tomorrow, I sock.
September 23rd, 2003 by Donna
I can’t believe I’ve waited this long, but with two mice for Wendy under my belt, I’m ready for a sock - yay! I was fortunate enough to discover the Cascade Fixation grab bag at One Fine Yarn, and even though I couldn’t make up my mind, I think Rita did right by me - lime green, turquoise and lemon yellow - it’s like a little slice of Miami in September. Plus, I now have two sizes of Brittany Birch DPNs, and I love how delicate they are - they’ll keep me from clutching the needles with a death grip.
I can’t say crocheting a chain to start off has been easy (mine keeps twisting), but it’s getting faster, and once I have 26 stitches, it’s time for a toe-up sock. And I can’t forget Wendy’s lesson on tip top toes at Knitty.
Speaking of Knitty - did you see that Latifa scarf? I did, and I am so making it - after all that knitting-front-and-back increasing for the nose up mouse I just did, that ruffling will be a breeze. I also have the bpt cabled pullover in mind, because there’s an LYS only an hour away that stocks Schaefer yarn. I saw that there was a question on the knitlist today concerning whether the bpt pattern might have a discrepancy in the number of stitches to cast on in medium, so I’ll look into that before I start.
Socks away - I’m so ready, I may even add stripes my first time out.
