Just got back from a conference. There was knitting (though not as much as there sometimes is):
Did I tell you about these socks? They are for Pam to tide her over until such time as I can make peace with those damn pink-and-green socks. Simple 5x1 rib knit cuff-down from Crazy Zauberball.
The way this yarn transitions color is endlessly fascinating to me…
It is a two-ply yarn, which totally shows – see how bobbly the stitches are? This yarn isn’t very round at the cross-section and it causes the stitches to be uneven. But I still like it. 
I’m not sure I love the big demarcation between leg and foot at the top when I rejoined for knitting in the round after the heel flap… but so be it. I didn’t feel like doing an afterthought heel this time.

You know...I think this has totally turned me off from knitting socks with Zauberball (sp?). I find the transitions...um...ugly (I tried to find a less pejorative term, but failed).
ReplyDeleteI kind of like the way this looks. Remember fondling the Zauberball at Twist in Portland? I think the subtle color shifts hide the bobbliness of the two-ply pretty well.
