A quality Monday night at home: JW’s playing “Zombies Ate My Neighbors” on Super Nintendo, and I’m blogging about a sock.
I feel it’s important to point out how very, very difficult it is to take a good picture of one’s own foot. Still, this sock is the first thing I’ve finished in a while, and I’m pretty satisfied with it. The pattern is Froot Loop from the spring issue of Knitty; I got a healthy start on it during graduation and then did the rest on the subway to and from work every day. The yarn is Koigu KPM in color #1110, and the excess dye turned my bamboo needles the same color (and my fingertips too!). I love, love, love the color, and the pattern is great too. It’s interesting, but easy to memorize; perfect mobile knitting. My only complaint is not with the pattern or the yarn, but the nature of the beast itself: it is very, annoying to frog this pattern. Like, super-crazy irritating, which means that there’s a couple of mistakes in there that I can’t get out. But, other than that, I’m quite happy with this, and can’t wait to finish the second one!
Yeeeaaahhhh….. I see the mistakes (?) Like you missed a spot. See it? No, tight…there. Yeah, there.
These look terrific! Thanks for finishing Mom’s sock. She can’t knit these days as you know, but we are getting in more dominoes!
