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.

September 2, 2019

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)

L’ombre de Lucretia

Not quite enough of the two main colors to make the full length so I added a panel of 28 rows/14 ridges in another yarn I had on hand (but apparently never added to Ravelry?) will have to do that later. (local dyer, mini skein, pale blue with the same sparkle as the others)

Then finished with 6 rows (3 ridges) of the Kodiak.

Stopped about 7 rows short, seemed long enough and I liked the balance of color widths. Turned out to be perfect for the pin I wanted to wear it with!

This was a really relaxing knit to work on, makes a nice squishy fabric. Also enjoy how the two colors worked up together into something with a lot of depth and visual interest.

Blueberry Waffle Socks

February 25, 2019

9 pattern repeats to the heel (did the pattern heel, it’s too deep, ripped out and trying fish kiss heel instead)

February 26, 2019

On the sole side, about 3 rows after the join, k10, ssk, k2, k2tog, k10

February 27, 2019

After about 4 more rows (just past row 4 of pattern) k11, k2tog, k11

Note : should do toe decreases uneven to make kitchener work?

February 28, 2019

Toe decreases:

sole: k10, k2tog, k11
top: as pattern

as pattern

sole: knit across
top: as pattern

then continue in pattern

…..

when I’d reduced to 16 st on each side, I realized I was probably reading the pattern wrong (it’s designed for 3 dpns), and switched to reducing stitches on every row.

reduced to 12 st total (6 on ea side), then one round w/no reductions
