Finally Done
I’ve been busy knitting over the past few days. I finished these:
With the blustery winds we’re having today, they sure are keeping my toes warm!
And here’s a gratuitous detail shot of the cables.
The details:
Yarn: Opal sock yarn
Needles: I used size 1US needles until I reached my ankles then I switched to 0US, Knit Picks Classic Circular
Pattern: Braided Cable with Garter Bead from Sensational Knitted Socks with modifications*
*I made the following modifications: I omitted one row between cables; I used the eye of partridge heel stitch instead of the heel pattern found in the book; I twisted the stitches when knitting the gussets.
All in all this was great fun to knit. The pattern was easy to memorize and it was a very satisfying knit. I really liked the yarn. I decidedly used a cable needle because I didn’t want to chance losing any of the tiny stitches.
Next up, Here Be Dragons!
