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

You may have thought from all of the weaving posts that I had given up on knitting. But no, that is not the case. The knitting has just been going on behind the scenes when I would go to Sip ‘n Knit and when it would get too dark for me to weave.<\/p>\n

And since I hadn’t posted about the diamond brocade sock in a while, you might have assumed that I had given up on that.<\/p>\n

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

That was almost the case, but I am giving the (damn) thing another attempt.<\/p>\n

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

This time around, I am just doing a slip stitch pattern for the foot. Hopefully this time is the charm. (I have lost count of whether this is the third, fourth, or fifth time for the foot.)<\/p>\n

Because all of that ripping makes the diamond brocade not very portable, I started this sock at weaving guild meeting this past week.<\/p>\n

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

The yarn is Sheila’s sock yarn <\/a>in Green Tamborine. I love this shade of green. I haven’t completely decided on the design, but a tree motif will be involved to make it kind of Christmas-y, without limiting the socks to being only wearable in December.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, I finished up the first of this pair of socks.<\/p>\n

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

The yarn is Dave Daniel’s superwash merino sock yarn <\/a>in Kaliedoscope colorway. I haven’t started the second sock yet because I am going to try to document all of the steps that I do in knitting a sock for teaching purposes. Hopefully, I won’t get carried away again, and forget to stop and take pictures along the way. (The STR socks <\/a>were supposed to be the example for teaching, originally; but I just kept on knitting. Oh well. My cast on photos for those socks were not that good, anyway.)<\/p>\n

\"Bogey,<\/a><\/p>\n

And here is our model, doing what he does best (and most often.) What an awful life he must have, lying around all day. Poor thing.<\/p>\n
