Pattern: Crystalline Socks by Cailyn Meyer
Yarn: 75% Wool, 25% Nylon hand-dyed with Wiltons Icing colours.
Mods: I crossed the cables on every quilted stitch row, rather than having the quilted pattern out of sync with the cable pattern.
Notes:
These socks were lots of fun to make. I really like the quilted lattice stitch pattern - a good choice for variegated yarns. I plan on using it again, or a variation on it, with some other variegated yarn I have. I actually thought this yarn was going to be more variegated than it ended up being. There is much more green in it than I thought when I dyed it. In any case, I loved watching the colours change as I knit and slipped stitches.
Slipped stitch rows went really quickly, as well. Had I not taken a long break to knit some gift socks (which I now remember I haven't shared on the blog yet), these would have been finished in short order, since they flew along.
The variegated worked wonderfully well with this pattern. The pattern looks so intricate.
ReplyDeleteNice dyeing job! I love how the color turned out.
