That’s my thought, exactly!
Luckily there’s no sock police! You get to decide what you want to use. I find it really interesting how the same pattern can look so different depending on yarn choice.
Very nice…and even though it is colorful, it is tonal, which means the cables will show up nicely!
Love them!
I went to a box store to look for an economical practice sock yarn but they didnt have anything so I was /totally/ justified in stopping in at the LYS To pick up these beauties:
Of course I forgot to confirm that I have the right needles!
Road trip!
Woohoo!!
My needles came and they are TINY!!
What size are they? What are they made of?
Size 2. They are wood. I hope long enough. I have used zeros before so I’ve used smaller, but not much!
perfect
So, my yarn says US3 so I’ll have to do a gauge swatch to figure out what I should do for needles… grumble gauge grumble lazy knitter grumble
I don’t know about you, but I have to go down a needle size for socks…I think it is because I have skinny feet…I like them to fit tighter…
But, I am not making those for me, so, yeah, I better check to make sure I have the right needles as well! lol
When I work with my 2s I feel like I’m knitting with toothpicks lol.
LOL ouch my poor fingers, can’t even fathom.
I think tomorrow is Day One for the sockalong. Hopefully I have what I need.
Yesss! I’m ready! (I think)
I’m watching the video now and her cast on is blowing my mind lol I’ve never seen one like it! I already like this project for novelty alone. weee!
Go you! I havent had time with the yarn and no one climbing on me yet. So far just got to watch some of the video. I’m looking forward to a hot beverage and some yarn time. Soooooon.
@Abbeeroad, am I missing it or is there no written pattern available for this?
