Almost finished with sock #2. I’m kind of surprised by how HEAVY this yarn is. My previous sock-knitting has been done with either my own homespun, or with Opal or Elann.com’s “Sock it To Me” yarn. Blue Moon Fiberarts Socks that Rock yarn is heaftier. They’ll definitely be one of my “cozier” pair of socks. I like the striping I got. No real “pooling” to speak of at all.
One of my favorite places to buy sock yarn. Look at this beautiful shawl Astrid has designed and made up kits for.
Finally getting around to knitting the socks from my “Lucy” Socks That Rock Yarn from Bluemoon Fiberarts. Sorry for the miserably washed-out colors here in this picture, but I’m only working with 2 megapixels, so what can I say…you kind of get the gist of the photograph, right? It’s much prettier in real life.
I do believe I have FINALLY found a gusset I like! The heel flap is knit with a garter-stitch “selvedge” and somehow that enabled me to pick up all those gusset stitches and knit them without any little holes on either side. I really like that! The general “recipe” for the sock is taken from Charlene Schurch’s book Sensational Knitted Socks
Fascinating stretchy cast on tutorial video.
