Pattern: Retro Rib Socks from IK Winter 2004
Yarn: Koigu #319
Adjustments: Toe up, figure 8 cast on (love it) and I reversed the pattern because I was knitting toe up (totally unnecessary). I also added a stitch inbetween the purl stitch pair on the cuff in the last row. Then did my purl row and then cast off with a US #7 needle. This gave me a no sag cuff...yet loose enough that it doesn't cut off my circulation:)
I tried to be a little creative with the photo...keeping with the socktoberfest theme...the photo is taken in the light of my pre-lit grapevine pumpkins purchased on my last trip to the USA...thank you Target!
Which pair did you enjoy knitting the most...Retro Rib or Go With The Flow? I'm trying to decide on a pattern and would love to hear your opinion. I would be knitting mine from the top down though.
ReplyDeleteYour socks look awesome! And the vest will be adorable : )
ReplyDeleteThose look great! What a nice experience to rework the pattern from the toe to the cuff!
ReplyDeleteLove the socks! They rock!!! Also love the artistic touch. I LOVE the fight against knitters arse post - I too am fighting this battle with WW, and after 4 weeks have finally lost 5.2 lbs!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose look awesome! Great job, once again you're a sock making fool! I love the color and they feel so fallish!
ReplyDeleteLove the socks, and even though those aren't officially Christmas lights, I'm feeling Christmas-y now.
ReplyDeleteLove them! And great picture. For my next pair of socks, I am going to try out that figure 8 cast on.
