Socks are done for son with the turkey thighs for calves. His birthday isn't until June but they are finished. Can you see how I added stitches in the center back to accommodate his meaty legs? Note to self if they are the perfect fit write down the measurements for increases.
I started this sweater with CoBaSi yarn which is cotton, bamboo and silk. It feels like a dream. The swatch shrank a little in length in the washer but not in width so I can knit it a little longer. The lace pattern in the sleeve is supper easy.
And another pair of socks! The color of these make me hungry for rhubarb. That is the color a yellow green with pink and red. I wonder when the blue will appear from the ball. I'm doing a fake cable it has the look but doesn't loose the stretch.
k4, p2 for six rows
p2, k4 for 6 row
k2, p2, k4 for 6 row and repeat the sequence.
For all the socks I have knit there are some patterns I keep coming back to because of the amount of stretch and others I don't knit again because of lack of stretch.
Happy knitting --Ann--
Your sweater is going to be beautiful! I love the sock yarn, too. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteRhubarb is just sprouting here in Central MN. It will be interesting to see how the blue comes in.
