The purple sock on the left is almost ready for me to turn the heel. I used the safety pins to help me keep track of which row I'm on. The bottom pin is the starting row, the top one marks row 70. Saves me having to start right back at the begining each time I count. Although I guess I could just count the pattern repeats instead which would be simpler. Oh well!
I've been starting to plot about what I want to knit next. I think it's going to be a sweater for Mr Soaring Sheep using this recipe and this yarn:
Hopefully I can get a swatch done today if I have time and then I can start taking measurments and working out stitch counts and cable patterns. I'll share more about my plans later as they're a bit vague at the moment!
Right I'd better get knitting :-)
I love that purple sock!
ReplyDeleteI've made that same mistake with ribbing. So frustrating!
Thanks :) I was more annoyed I didn't notice it right until I was starting to cast off, a few rows earlier would have been better lol
DeleteOopsies on the ribbing. Sometimes one is on automatic pilot. The blue yarn has zing. It's a solid blue for spring and summer.
ReplyDeleteYeah I usually do k1p1 ribbing and fancied a change. Maybe I should just stick with the normal one lol
DeleteOoh your sock looks gorgeous. I seem to be leaning towards more blue yarns lately but they have to wait until I finish off some other items first like sewing buttons onto finished garments.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I'm terrible at sewing buttons on, I get my OH to do it for me. I don't know what I do wrong but my buttons always fall off really quickly lol
Deleteboy oh boy does your husband get lots of knits, what a lucky guy! Bummer about the ribbing but I bet you've fixed it by now!!
ReplyDeletehe's an appreciative recipient so I enjoy making things for him :) I think also because he's working away all the time I like being able to make something for him to take with him. Socks all fixed and waiting for some sunshine to take some photos :)
