chocolate crunch knee highs
Rachel tells me that I need to rethink my reward system... for every subchapter I finished, I let myself weave in a few ends.
I argue that once the ends are woven in, I have a new pair of socks to wear. She thinks I need to do something more fun for a reward.
There's only so much purchasing I can do ;)
Project specs:
Pattern: Garter Rib from Sensational Knitted Socks
Needles: KP 2.75 mm dpns
Yarn: A Swell Yarn Shop Middy Duet in Chocolate Crunch, purchased from the Loopy Ewe.
Date cast on: 2/14/2008
Date cast off: 3/23/2008, ends woven in 3/25/2008
Notes: worked toe up starting with 8 wraps using the magic cast on. Increased every round until 32 stitches on the needles, then every other round until 64 stitches around. Short row heel worked over 32 stitches, wrapped until 12 stitches remained. Knit until almost out of the variegated yarn, then ended with 20 rows of k2p2 ribbing. Cast off using crochet cast off for stretchy bind off.
1" band of stockinette above heel for practicality of wearing in shoes.
Gauge: 8spi, 11.25 rpi
What can I say, I enjoy dense socks! :)
