I Can’t Believe It’s Snowing Again
This the third day in a row with some snow and it’s not melting. Last night’s snow was light and fine, but wet enough to stick to anything. Any everything was cold enough to hold on to it.
Knitting Content
The finished Tunisian rib socks
- Yarn
- Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock in Flames (#146)
- Needles
- Crystal Palace Bamboo 2.25mm dpn’s (US #1)
- Pattern
- my own, for better or worse; Dutch heel and round toe (modified) from Nancy Bush’s Knitting Vintage Socks; Tunisian rib from Barbara Walker’s A Treasury of Knitting Patterns, p.159.
This is the first time I’ve used a Dutch heel in stockinette. It seems too wide and too long. In case you are wondering about the proportions, these are for my sister, who has short feet and high arches. We’ll see how these do.
Detail of the Tunisian rib, which has become my favorite rib stitch.
