Here's some updated pictures of the restarted sock.

Its so different from the first one that was striped. This time around check out the different sides of the same sock... Its a cool effect:

Hermoine's Sock - Part 4

So... Yesterday I started the new sock.... it's going great. Knitting them on the right sized needles REALLY helps. but the strange thing is... when I was knitting them on Size 2 DPN's the pattern was coming out almost a perfect stripe (See 2 blog posts ago) for the striped picture.

Now that I ripped out the old sock and restarted them with Size 1 DPN's there's no horizontal stripe patten - I'm a bit disappointed. But now it looks like they will be a mutated slanted direction, sort of. Hard to describe.

When I get a couple more inches i will take another picture and post so you can see the different they are.

It's absolutely amazing the difference  whole needle size makes.....

Hermoine's Sock update

so... I have ripped out the entire sock. SIGH.
I love the pattern but I didn't notice that I was using the wrong size needles until the sock was starting to look ginormous. Plus the pattern has a mistake in the "Modified" heel flap pattern.

On Friday at lunch I decided that it just wasn't working and I needed to rip out out and start again. I will also use the REAL "Eye of the Partridge" heel flap pattern in place of the one that is in the pattern.

I am getting ready to start this again.

Hermoine's Socks

I am loving this sock pattern:

"Hermoine's Everyday Socks"

The texture pattern is turning out really cool and look at those stripes!  Was that supposed to happen with this yarn? I'm not sure about that, however,  I love working with variegated yarn and seeing what pattern evolves from it. Its absolutely amazing....

~~Socks~~

So.... Yesterday I decided that I wanted to knit another pair of socks. Its been awhile since I have done a piar and I have a lovely skein of "X-mas Rock" by Blue Moon Fiber Arts. It was part of the Socks that Rock Series. I bought it off someone on Ravelry and have had it in my stash for awhile waiting for a the perfect sock project to come my way.

So I printed out a pattern I had saved within Ravelry called "Komet".


I cast on my stitches in the Twisted Rib fashion. This was a first and I really like the twisted rib look. However the pattern was a German pattern that left a lot of info out of the pattern because "THEY" assume you are a very experienced knitter and you would just "know" what to do. Well they were wrong and I was 3 rows into the pattern and just as confused and wondering if I was even doing it and understanding the pattern correctly.

I worked on this sock at lunch today and then I had the afternoon to think about it and decided that I just didn't "feel" the pattern. When I got home tonight I decided to pick another pattern and rip it out and start the new pattern.

My new pattern is called "Hermoine's Everyday Sock" by Erica Lueder.


It is named after the character in the Harry Potter movies and has a lovely textured pattern to it. I think it's going to look great with my yarn. Can't wait to start it.
