Reference<\/a><\/p>\n

And they are done!<\/p>\n

\"Pro<\/a><\/p>\n

They turned out ok. I think I might not do the Double Basketweave stitch pattern again with Trekking, though I do like the pattern<\/a>. I also realized after the last entry on these socks that there is a repeat to the yarn’s colorway. On these socks, it is about 2″ (in rows.) It is easiest for me to see it in the legs.<\/p>\n

While I realized I said I was going to start Mr. Penney’s sweater, I am still trying to figure out the design for it. I am trying to take all of the necessary precautions to make sure that I will not run out of a color I feel I need while in the middle of the project. I know I could probably get Juanita, who dyed the yarn, to dye me some more; but I don’t want to take the chance of a dyelot mismatch. I need to include Mr. Penney in the thought process, anyway. It will be his sweater, after all.<\/p>\n

So in leiu of starting one sweater, I have started two socks!<\/p>\n

\"Colinette<\/a><\/p>\n

This is Colinette Jitterbug in the Slate colorway. This is just going to be “mindless” knitting, with a stockinette foot and a ribbed leg. I will let the colorway do the work for me. Honestly, I am a little surprised at how this is turning out. To me, it looked like there was far less color in the yarn when it was in skein form.<\/p>\n

\"Opal<\/a><\/p>\n

And this is Opal Handpainted in colorway #13. This was also going to be another “mindless” sock; but after doing the toe, I think the colorway is subtle enough that it can handle a stitch pattern. Again, color me surprised. I guess I was fooled by the orange.<\/p>\n

The reason for starting more than one sock is so that I have something portable to work on, as I have some things coming up where I am going to be spending lots of time in waiting rooms. Of course, there is also the “couldn’t wait to see what the yarn looked like knitted up” reason as well.<\/p>\n

I do feel like I am kind of retreating to a safe zone at the moment, and not doing anything to really challenge myself. The rug<\/a>, the sweater<\/a>, all of that fabric<\/a>, it is all waiting for me to get back to it; and I am just making the same socks, just changing the yarn and maybe the stitch pattern. I am not too worried about it at the moment; but if it keeps up, I will feel like I am just taking the easy way out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
