This project is being set up to test a few things...
- Record the actual time it takes me to make a pair of socks, using a new-to-me pattern.
- Gain experience with the Jamieson & Smith yarn on a small project before I embark upon a Fair Isle Sweater.
- Decide if a selection of this yarn is appropriate for next year's Sock Madness.
Given that this is a 100% Shetland Wool yarn, intended for Fair Isle Sweaters, I'm not certain that it will be comfortable in the next-to-skin situation as socks. However, since it is intended for color-work, I think it will be interesting to work with.
The pattern I am using is called You Killed My Father, and is part of a set of patterns inspired by one of my favorite movies, The Princess Bride.
This pattern also provides a few other new things for me to practice
- Top-Down Socks
- Two Yarn colors
Status at the end of our Temporary Housing stay at the end of March 2023
At the end of a recent road trip, I had both legs completed.
I miscounted the rows on the heel flap, so I TINK'd out the Heel Turn and added the remaining rows...
I switched to dpns on the gusset. It was a bit easier to manage this way...
Tried on the first sock after the gusset was completed... I think these will fit nicely...
While I work on the second gusset, I'll be thinking a bit more about when to start the toes.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
