More socks! I'm down to two projects on the needles right now and am trying to figure out what I'm going to cast on next. Either Candelia or Brooklet. Hmmm....suggestions?Pattern: Kalajoki (free Ravelry download)
Yarn: Blue Moon Fiber Arts STR Mediumweight in Falcon's Eye
Needles: 2.75 mm Addi Turbo
Notes: Knit using the magic loop method - I finished the first one in approximately 10 hours! I knit the shaped toes but did extra decreases at the bottom of the foot so I could kitchener the last few stitches together. I don't trust the "pull through remaining stitches" method to hold up to in-the-shoe wear and prefer grafting. This was the first skein of STR that I ever purchased and am happy that it has a new life as socks.
Ooh! Candelia, definitely. :)
ReplyDeleteReally like that sock pattern. 10 hours for the first sock? You are very rapid!
That's a great yarn/pattern combo! I don't trust the pull-through-the-remaining-stitches method either...
ReplyDeletebut I want to do it on one circ and not dp's. Anyone try to convert that?
