All you’re doing is changing the width of the instep.
Think I can say “bottom” a few more times? It’s starting to sound naughty in here! Anyway, I had the realization a few days ago that the Ridgeline and Riverbed sock architectures in the Cat Bordhi book are basically the same thing. It’s kind of hard to tell what’s going on in that photo, but basically it’s a picture of the bottom of the socks, and the bottom of the photo is where the back of the heel is. But the most interesting thing I’ve done with it so far is to work the gusset decreases along the bottom of the sock instead of on the sides: There’s some shaping going on in the leg, and the pattern continues down the heel flap. So, behold the start of the Red Stripe sock: Anyway, I’ve been promising Travis a pair of boot socks for the past few months now, and since he got me the Wollmeise, I figured the least I could do was knit him something out of some of that yarn. I have total sock ADD right now, but I figure that as long as I’m working on something, pairs of socks will be completed eventually.
Since getting the Wollmeise, I started immediately on a new pair of socks. I keep sticking my head in the bag and huffing it, despite inhaling fibers. Besides being soft and squishy, the roving smells nice too. The second is some wonderfully fluffy and floaty Jacob’s sheep/angora blend roving that she scored for me from Millennial Way Farms (I would link, but their website doesn’t seem to be working, unfortunately). I love the silver in with the black and orange. But before I show pictures of that, I have pictures of this:ĭianne sent me goodies! The first pic is of some of her mernio/tencel yarn dyed in the Callaloo colorway, which I am absolutely nuts about. I’m still camped out in the living room with all of the knitting, and have been working on a new project.
