Stripes
In case it isn’t obvious from my blog theme, I love the color combination of purple and green. I have two skeins of Opal Prisma, one in each color - 1192 (green) and 1195 (purple). I’ve come up with several ways to use the two colors in socks. There’s a poll at the end of this post; please cast your vote and let me know which option you think I should choose. I don’t know when I will actually start these socks, it could be next week or next year.
The options I’ve come up with include:
Making Progress!
Thanks again for the compliments about my recently completed Madder Ribbed socks. I appreciated them and enjoyed these socks very much (even though I had to rip them out and restart)… the patterning is simple yet entertaining and attractive. more »
Madder Ribbed Socks
Back on Track!
I’m so happy! Finally, I frogged what I had knitted on these socks last Thursday.
At first, I frogged only halfway to see if they could be saved this way, but I still wasn’t happy, so RIP, everything went. I was in a positive mood, so I restarted immediately and have been working on them since. more »
Project Spectrum ~ April
I’m so glad the week is over! Next week, I’ll return to my part-time schedule of working on Mon-Tues.
I’m planning to temporarily change the theme for this site to match Project Spectrum. Check back again this weekend! : )
I’ve only been able to knit a little bit in the evenings. I’ve also been ignoring my two larger WIPs and my Continental scarf. Instead, I felt like working on socks.
One of these pairs has orange stripes for Project Spectrum. I think it’s the only orange or yellow yarn I had available! I felt something simple would be ideal for the striping pattern, so I started with the first pattern in Knitting Vintage Socks—Madder Ribbed.
I just had to snap a photo of how the Prisma yarn appeared when wound into a skein. Rather like a Tartan pattern, no?
