More Tricks
Somehow the nifty little magic trick swatch has gone and turned itself into nifty (if rather larger) magic trick socks. Or at least into the start of socks. Funny how that happens!
Yarn is some Dirty Water Dye Works’ Marie that I got on our trip back in 2013. it is going to make excellent socks. Now if one of you would just come bang out a few more inches for me while I go take a nap?
Did you swatch it while still on the needles?
I did a swatch of the stitch pattern before I started (you can see it in the previous post). Once I knew I liked the swatch, I cast on for the sock.
Neat! the diagonal movement reminds of tacit, but different. Looking forward to the whole sock.
We need a magic portal to send the sock around while you knit.
Yeah it’s got some of that same ‘cables but without the over under thing’ vibe, but the background ribbing is maintained (and peeks out between the cables), which is nice!
I LOVE this sock! 🙂
Absolutely love the progression of this posted on Instagram – this will be a must knit sock for me!! Will the pattern be out soon?!?
Probably some time next year! I’ve got to finish knitting it, get it written, tested, and edited, get photos taken, and fit it into the release schedule. That takes several months at least.
