I’m still focused on knitting socks and here’s another finished pair. I finally knit the Pomatomus pattern by Cookie A. I’ve had the yarn (Cherry Tree Hill Supersock Merino in Misty Moor) set aside for this pattern for a long time. It’s good to finally mark this off the list of Socks to Knit Later!
A few people on Twitter asked me if the lace is difficult and I don’t think it is. I think it looks tough because of all the twisted stitches, but really it’s just like any other lace pattern. The charts aren’t overly complicated (which is a really, really good thing).
After I finished the first sock and put it on, it struck me how long the cuff is–it comes up to mid-calf on me. I was concerned I wouldn’t have enough yarn to finish the second sock, so I went out and bought a digital postal scale so I could weigh everything. I weighed the first sock and then weighed the remaining yarn. I had more than enough to finish, so that was a relief and I went ahead and cast on the second. No second sock syndrome, thankfully! Also, I’d been meaning to buy a digital scale anyway, since it’ll come in handy whenever I decide to knit some toe-up socks and need to split the skein into two balls.
I’m looking forward to wearing these–I think they’ll be really cozy!
The fish scale effect is amazing! Knitting is obviously a form of art.
