I finished these socks shorties! with an eye of the partridge slip stitched heel. The short row heel looks like the nose of a horse or a moose, they just need antlers. All the striped yarn is used! I love that feeling. It's all used! no little balls of leftovers!
The bottom of the sweater is knitting fast on a short cable, not a lot of shifting of the stitches when they are so close together. Round and round I go. About 5 or 6 more inches then the garter stitch rows for the hem. I can't with to see the color pattern of this yarn in the bodice. It looks like there is some pooling of color. The yarn I am using is Bella Lino by Classic Elite Yarns, it is linen, viscose and cotton, just a color number but I think some website called it 'sunset'. I slid the stitches onto a ribbon to try it on, I really like the way the neckline fits and feels. I should have taken a pic before I put it back on the needle oh well maybe next week there will be a selfie. Linking to

Cute little socks and the sweater is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sweater, Ann! I love the pattern. And your socks are adorable. Those were made with scraps of striped yarn? Wow!
ReplyDeleteFun socks! Love the sweater; it's really coming along quickly.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a pretty pattern on your sweater. Is it a hard one to knit? Your socks look so cute with the buttons on them. I like the stripes and congrats to using up the all the stiped yarn.
