In the realm of way too cute
I got Cat Bordhi's "New Pathways for Sock Knitters" a few weeks ago, but couldn't start any new socks till I finished mom's Monkeys. So last night I pulled out an extra skein of KnitPicks WotA and decided to cast on for the practice socks in the book. Aren't they adorable!!!
A closer look at how they're constructed. Probably would have shown up better if I had used lighter yarn, but these were really just for my own practice. The pattern calls for 3oz of worsted weight yarn, but these took only 25g.
With the rest of the yarn, I started the Little Coriolis pair. I got through the first sock, but I don't think I'll have enough to make the second. Guess it's time to move on to the adult sized socks.
In other news, I made myself some stitchmarkers to go along with Cat's book. They aren't pretty but they'll do.
