Newton

Second pair of socks from Cookie A 2013 Sock Club's first shipment finished. These were slightly more difficult than the Ernie pattern, because you had to keep an eye on the chart all the time. Or, at least my photographic memory is not well-trained enough to memorize the pattern. I knit the largest size, because I wanted them slightly bigger, but apparently my gauge was so intensely tight that they turned out more like a small or medium size. I hope they are roomy enough for the recipient's needs. The yarn was Cephalopod Yarns Skinny Bugga!, just like with the other club socks, but this time in the colorway VW Bug.

Admittedly not something I particularly enjoyed knitting, the pattern from the Wollmeise Lace Colourbag was still something I wanted to finish. I did like my slightly adjusted color combination at first, but grew somewhat tired of it during the process of knitting. I combined colors from two different bags, and ended up with Gianduia, Aquarius and zartbitter. My lack of patience for getting it just done already was not helped by the 1200 stitches per row in the end. I do like the ribbed edging, though.
