Pat's Knitting and Quilting
June 25 , 2007 The new STR sock kit is perfect for a bright summer knit!
The Pattern is called Solstice Slip and it is knit in Socks That Rock merino lightweight. The color is aptly named Firebird. After weighing all the options and discussing (dissecting) the pattern with Madame Purl, I opted to make the smallest size on two 2.25 circulars and knit cuff down (well I guess that part is obvious from the pictures - duh!) and just figure out the rest and make decisions as I go along. I quickly got into the rhythm of this stitch pattern and after a few rows, dumped the cable needle (and I'm not a cabling without a needle person - I usually like my cable needle - but not for this one). I took the above picture yesterday...last night I completed another few inches of leg (6" total) and made my way through 1 of the garter stitch heels....
Don't forget you can click the pictures for a closer look if you like.
When I want a sock change, I am working on my Breeze anklets- Isn't this a delicate beautiful (partial) heel flap ?
