Never the same river twice

Started with “Architecture” but didn’t like having to count rows, pulled back to the end of the toe and incorporated the 1×1 cables in a ribbing pattern.

Will add notes about which toe type, row pattern, and when I get to heel etc.

Slightly shorter than the last time I did the flk heel, I think.

Pattern for back of socks:

p2k2 x 7; p2; cable pattern over 4 st; p2; k2p2 x 6

Climb and Swirl Cowl, Mom edition

I made this once before, but I must have cast on way more stitches, because this was more of a turtleneck style than a drapey one.

I also just barely got into shading out of the darkest color. Made it about 6” tall.

Lunar Phases Cowl

Usage update: I’m still not totally satisfied with my overall gauge tension, but I’ve now worn it twice in below freezing weather, and it’s REALLY COMFY.

Piped

Test-knitting Ma’ayan’s sock pattern! And trying toe-up taat socks for the first time in a looooong time.

Foot length to start of fish-kiss heel 7 1/2 (measuring below the needle, final length measuring from lifeline is 7 5/8)

I used my most recent broken seed stitch socks as a model.

September 4, 2019

Bahahahahaha I was about to call it just an inch or two above the heel (because omg 1×1 rib is so boooooooring) and then I looked at the pattern and there’s a whole other section of leg that I forgot about entirely. (Things that happen when you take 3+ months to knit a pair of socks, with two other projects in between.) So I ripped back a half-round of purl and am just going to jump into the pattern from here. Should be about the right length.

Did both repeats of the pattern and then 6 additional rounds of 1×1 ribbing. Bound off with Jeny’s stretchy. Very comfy quarter-height socks, ended up just wearing them the rest of the day.

Upside-Down Vanilla Latte

Tried the slip-stitch pattern and once I actually read the pattern repeat description decided I didn’t like it. Going to try this ribbed/cabled pattern, amused by the random aspect.


And then I discovered that Dicey, while cool-looking, was the wrong number of stitches, and I couldn’t make the math work. So I decided to just do the Vanilla Latte sock, even though it’s a top-down pattern, and I’ll do the fish lips kiss heel.

Foot to start of heel: 7 3/4
Pattern from end of heel-related stst to cuff: 4 3/4
Cuff: 1 3/8?
Did Jeny’s stretchy bindoff, tried new method for binding off last stitch (https://vimeo.com/350991789)
