That's 3 down for Mission Possible. Yeah, we're half way through month four of the year, but the socks are almost finished, too.
The edges do roll inward a bit, but I've decided that when worn this won't matter at all.
Specs: A little under 100 grams of sock yarn (DGB "Confetti": 75% wool/25% nylon) on US size 3 needles. Four repeats of "Little Leaf Lace Stripe" from Barbara Walker's first collection (centered) with a 3 stitch garter border along each side, and 6 rows of plain garter at each end.
I blocked without pins, just dampened and spread to shape, so that was pretty easy-peasy, too.

I'm rolling along on the body of the new scarf in Brooklyn Handspun "Soft Spun". The big question is, how much yarn do I reserve for the edgings that will go at the ends? I think I need to do some weighing and measuring.
It's very nice. I love your photos, too.
ReplyDeleteWeighing and measuring - yuck -- though generally worth the effort to avoid a BIGGER yuck....
