Pattern: Eminence Rouge Socks
Yarn: Knit Picks Swish DK in Hollyberry
Needles: US4/3.5mm
Timeframe: September 1 - 17, 2011
Mods: None.
Problems: Nice pattern, but the yarn may not have been the best choice. Seems as though it will fuzz and pill and obscure the lovely cables fairly quickly, since it was starting to do so while I was knitting it. Oh well, they will be nice and comfy, even if they won't be gorgeous for too long!
Yarn: Fleece Artist BFL, Loopy Ewe Sock Club May 2010
Needles: US1.5/2.5mm
Timeframe: September 13 - October 31, 2011
Mods: None.
Problems: Kind of a lot, mostly just because this pattern is deceptively complex - it looks and is very simple, but if you don't keep a careful count of stitches and short rows, you will have to rip back. Multiple times. Like me. I didn't love either this pattern or the yarn in the skein, but wow, is it wonderful knit up! I loved it so much I considered keeping the socks! I must get myself some Fleece Artist BFL, as soon as I have less yarn. So, like, in a decade?
I finished another pair and a single sock that I am counting as done, but those are test knits so I can't show them off yet. Lovely socks though! I also knit one Rhiannon, two Treetop Socks (though I need to re-knit one), one other test knit sock that needs its mate, and that black sock. Methinks I have enough carry-around projects to last me until I leave Japan!
