Sock Madness is upon us, which means my knitting productivity goes back up. Last night I finished the first round pattern, Dicey.
Each sock’s cable placement was determined by rolling dice. On the leg of the second sock, I rolled a lot of cables. It nearly prevented me from finishing within the time frame allotted us. And the stress of that possibility definitely made me tense, which, in turn, means that second leg is a bit more tight-fitting than the first. But I can get both of them on, which is what’s important.
The yarn, which is in a color called Spring Green, made socks perfect for wearing around Mitchell Park on a temperate St. Patrick’s Day.
I like them better on way better than I did while knitting them.
i’m intrigued by the idea of rolling dice to determine cable placement. and i love that green yarn…makes me realize i have no green socks. must remedy this problem!
