Stripe Those Socks


I’ve now completed my second pair of socks and in a slightly shorter time period as well. Less then a month, YAY!! I used a K3 P1 pattern for the cuff and plain old stockinette stitch for the foot. I like the socks but not loving the fit. They fit snuggly around my feet but getting them on and off makes me feel like they are a bit too tight. I actually had finished the first sock and put it on only to feel like it was too small in length. So I ripped back to the toe decreases, picked up the stitches and started again. So In the end the sock is still feeling a bit too short. I’m a little surprised but I think it’s the difference in both yarn weight and needle size from the first pair of socks. But this won’t stop me from wearing them because they still fit and are pretty cool. Nor has this stopped me from knitting socks. I’ve already cast on the next sock adventure and this time I’m even being a bit adventurous and using a ZigZag Pattern. More to come on this later.
