Even More Sock Goodness

This has suddenly become a sock blog.

This weekend the Easter bunny (me) left sock yarn in someone's Easter basket (mine). Presenting more Koigu, more Regia sock yarn in various crazy colors. These are from C0l0rful St!tches in Lenox, Mass. I had a gift certificate burning a hole in my pocket since Christmas. Only one skein of each color because I plan on making footies/ankle socks from now on.

Progess Shots:

Second Pomatomus and Jaywalker sock

Pair almost complete. The toes are different. On the finished sock I used short row shaping with wrapped stitches. On the second sock I used the Sherman short row shaping.

Again drastically different toes. On the finished sock I knit cuff down per given instructions. On the second I knit toe up, using short row shaping with wrapped stitches, which gave a rounder toe. So when I finish I'll have a matching pair that don't really quite match. Heh. The scallops are nicely mirrored though.

I do prefer working the Sherman short row over the usual wrapped stitches short row. More on that later.

Socks + Domesticat = BFF
