I've been in what appears to be a sort of blog silence over the last couple of weeks. I finished up the cardigan and then immediately cast on my June Self Imposed Sock Club sock...Scylla. I love the name and the story behind these socks. It is based on a Greek legend that immediately bought the pattern and the yarn chosen together. It seems to be a perfect fit. Love how it all came together.
This is a free pattern I happened to stumble upon when I started looking for another toe up pattern. Surprisingly I love toe up on 2 circs...may never use 4 DPN's again! Yeah I know I've said the 'never again' and cave. Time will tell.
A very quick knit...started them while in the Burg, worked on them at a high school graduation, a car dealership and in the car and suddenly one sock was done. One design surprise that I didn't notice until I was starting the leg. Well to be honest I did think it was strange that the pattern was 20 rows long, but I read it as if the 10 rows repeated themselves. I thought 'why?' have it written as a 20 row pattern...then stopped reading and started knitting.
It appears that my reading and comprehension are not in sync...the reason for the 20 rows was that rows 5-8 and rows 15-18 are NOT the same. So my foot doesn't match the leg. I'm not ripping back. I have cast on my second sock and wondering if I should do it according to the pattern or should I match it to sock 1...decisions, decisions. I wonder if a non knitter would notice. I think I'll conduct a small experiment to see...
