Pat's Knitting and Quilting
September 10 , 2007 Look at this pretty yarn combo for the current Red Bird Knits Sock Club...
I dropped my other socks to start them immediately!
This beautiful pattern is called Fair Game and was designed by Robyn Gallimore. The above picture shows the back and front of the leg - 2 different motifs (Egyptian and Anatolian) The sole and gusset have different stitch patterns, so it definitely won't get boring! The background yarn is Lana Grossa Bosco and the foreground is Lana Grossa Stile. Clue #1 of Maia's mystery socks - Scherherazade's Slippers in Posh Yarn "Emily" Arcadia colorway (lambswool/cashmere/angora) - These are going to be comfy!! This is a heavy fingering wt. yarn, and I'm using 2.25 mm circulars for a nice dense fabric. The only change I made was to make my increase to 31 stitches on row 23 (instead of row 25) by inserting the YO in the middle of that row and adjusting row 25 accordingly (somehow with the chart as written my YOs weren't centered between the cables - and this way they are perfect). The next clue should come today....
I'm enjoying working on socks, but am getting pulled by a certain sweater and mitten/ hat patterns – Selbuvotter, Knitting in Estonia, Knitting Marvelous Mittens, Favorite Mittens, Folk Mittens, and Hats On all have my attention lately, so I think I know what is next....
