Ok....so I've been dyeing Feet First for ... well....a long time...and I've made plenty of little things from the stuff, but never got brave enough to try socks. All that short-row stuff, just had me running for cover. Sounded like too much keep-track-of-your-row-or-else drama.
I succumbed.....decided to do a toe up, and I'm sure the folks who do socks all the time will look at it and grimace at the quality of the technique....AND I notice a couple stitches that...well...I dunno WHAT happened :-\ ....
but they look like socks!..............errr..."A" sock....hopefully when I get to the heel and that dreaded short row stuff.....I won't quit..........or worse yet suffer from the orphan sock syndrome and not even try to finish the second one.
But...........whatev....I'm happy at the moment....it's mindless right now, which suits me just fine ... thankyouverymuch...............and it's fun watching the stripes go round and round.
I can see where this could get addictive.............
I promise that the short rows won't murder you. If you're nice to them, they're nice back.
ReplyDeleteThe rows aren't pretty............but first heel went by with very little pain :) It wasn't so scary that I'm in fear of the second sock, which is a good thing !!
DeleteSocks are certainly addictive! I find it hard to believe you've not knit them before. Enjoy and welcome to the fun!
ReplyDeleteI think the colorplay is the most addictive part. Which is veeerrrrry verrrrrrry dangerous considering I have all this sock yarn sitting here for sale. I find myself wondering...oooo I wonder what THIS colorway would look like, or WOW, I bet this would be interesting....
