Well, as usual for me, my knitting goals were a bit too ambitious.
I was knitting up these socks for The Purple Purl's Can-Con Sock Along. But, deadline is today (July 31, 2017), and, alas, I haven't even finished knitting one sock.
I am, however, further along then I was the last time I talked about these, at least now the gradient colour change is clearly visible!
I do have to say, The Blue Brick
yarns have wonderful gradients, and I really want to design a shawl in
this yarn to see how the colours play out that way!
For this sock, I'm actually working from a single ball, so I'm curious how this is going to turn out too, since the colour changes won't be identical for each sock. They'll be a fraternal pair, rather then an identical pair, of socks.
And, you can see, I've gotten a new set of stitch markers since then too:
The previous marker I was using was a closed stitch marker you slipped along the needles, and it drove me batty, since the loop of it was wide enough I'd keep accidentally knitting it into my work! So when I got these locking stitch markers from *Efficient Sense, well, that package definitely qualified as happy mail! Her *Silver Feather Stitch Markers are light enough to not drag down my knitting, but big enough that I can't accidentally knit past them! (No, seriously, if you're looking for locking stitch markers, her shop is amazing!)
Anyway, even though I didn't finish these for the Sock-Along, I am going to try and finish them for the end of August. So, stay tuned to this space for more on this pattern!
