So, the Pomatomus socks haven't yet been the death of me, but they're a slow go. What you see here is half of the leg (well, if you don't include the cuff). Yep, half of the repeats of the first chart -- that's all I got after eight days. For a minute I seriously considered making these anklets, especially since I have to do it twice. But I am finding the challenge satisfying and the pattern is really cool.
I do like the Wildfoote yarn alot, though what you see here is the only place that the red bits have been pooling. All the red has fallen on needle #2, but as you see, it is migrating west (story of my life lately, hey?), and I think a diagonal stripe of the red would look pretty cool. Let's see if it cooperates with me. Tune in next week for the turning of the heel. Yeesh.
I LOVE the way this sock looks but I am totally intimidated by the pattern
ReplyDeleteTh red actually looks like cherry blossoms, to me. It looks like it was intended to create that pattern. Very cool!
ReplyDeletei think it's cool that the pooling looks like a lightning bolt.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your Pomatomus, it's going to look so gorgeous! And the yarn you're using absolutely rocks - can't wait to see pics of the finished socks! Happy Knitting!
ReplyDeletered? it looks like orange to me. but it's lovely. i'm seeing it as sort of a fat orange koi swimmingly slowly through a purplish-indigo pool. can't wait to see this socks when you finish!
