I have another little package to send out tomorrow for my sp. It’s the socks that I finished
And here they are all packaged, I just need to slap the to & from labels on!
I love how it’s see through! I am just hoping it doesn’t come across some sock-horder that decides their feet are cold! I think they’ll be fine! It’s just too bad that she doesn’t post pics on her blog at all, oh well.
On another note; the manresa legwarmers from knitty are a pain in the butt! Once you get to the larger calf part you realize that there is ZERO shaping for the leg so the yarn floats on the inside have to be really, really stretched out to make room for the calf. That just doesn’t work for me. So I am ripping them out & starting over at the end of the rib/start of the leg and adding in an extra 6 sts that will be decreased as the calf shape decreases down the leg. Duh. I will do pictures to show my alterations/changes to the pattern with better instructions for anyone else that might be interested in making them. I even tried to hunt down the author of the pattern & the one link knitty has does not work. I wanted to know what she did to the floats around the inside to keep them from being super loosey-goosey when not being worn. Seriously, the stitches are so loose and large because the floats are being pulled extra long so that they stretch an extra 3 inches. And they could easily cut a toe off while trying to put them on! Ridiculous to me. I wanted the authors ideas for fixing that problem. I wanted the solution to be something that I said “why didn’t I think of that??” So I will do what I have come up with & it will work marvelously I am sure!
