lately, all i seem to be doing is knitting socks... casting on a new pair... ripping it out again... trying something else... and then ending up knitting just my regular sock pattern. :)
the socks i have on the needles now, are meant to be a pretty, mismatched pair of socks, using all my sock scraps! (i'm also really into working with scraps lately) and they are becoming soooo pretty! i'm just knitting stripes (5 rows) and grabbing a random colour from a bag, making sure not to look, because once i start thinking about all the possible colour combinations, the socks would never have that random, scrappy look.
last summer i also cast on this one, by a pattern called "Giles Wavy socks". while i really loved knitting the chevrons, i hated the result. blegh!! i think a pattern like this would come out so much better with yarn with softer colour changes.
this one was the exact opposite; the Vanilla Latte socks. again, a lovely (more simple) pattern, but i felt like there wasn't enough "going on"... :)
so i decided to rip these out and store the yarn for a better purpose. meanwhile i'm really enjoying knitting my scrappy socks (stripes are sooo addictive) and waiting for my new yarn to arrive... because this autumn, i'll be knitting myself a Paulie! ♥
Oh, de Paulie! Die staat hier ook al zo lang op het lijstje! En zonder zeveren, ik was de laatste dagen aan het denken om er eens aan te beginnen. :) Ik ben zo benieuwd naar jouw versie! En jeej voor de restjessokken!
ReplyDeleteIk wou dat ik op hetzelfde gemak sokken kon breien. Je doet het zo makkelijk klinken. :)
ReplyDeleteIk vind ook wel dat je eerste foto er veel belovender uitziet dan de andere patronen die je geprobeerd hebt. Ik ben benieuwd naar het resultaat!
