Is it time to turn the heel?
I think I’m about ready to turn the heel on this baby, but a second repeat of the orange just appeared and I feel the need to have more orange on the cuff, so I’m going to sleep on it. Not to mention that my brain currently can’t handle trying to figure out where to put the pattern on the foot of socks with 5 repeats of 11.
Oh, and here’s a little teaser of my most recent FO in SWTC’s Tofutsies. I blogged about it back in May after frogging a first attempt. I am currently in love with these socks, it’s too hot to wear them right now, but they are so soft and the yarn has a lovely drape. I almost bought more on my visit to Asheville, but I ended up with some Koigu instead.
Anyone care to guess what pattern this is? I would have a contest, but I don’t really have a prize for the winner, so we’ll just have to go with my undying awe of your knowledge of sock patterns. (No fair guessing if you’ve seen them IRL!)
looks like RPM to me!
but this is just because I am still in that new knitter phase of knowing knitty’s website backwards and forwards, and not much else.
I was so proud of myself and was going to triumphantly write in with “I KNOW!! I KNOW WHAT PATTERN THAT IS!!”, and then I realized…I’m DQ’ed. I saw the original Tofutsies socks. Boo, hiss!
The taste of disappointment in my mouth was almost as upsetting as that of the vegan Carrboro bar.
I guess RPM and gosh, it is pretty! I really like those shades of red and orange that that skein has in it. I havent tried the tofutsies yarn yet but I am tempted to try it next.
