You might all remember this post<\/a> I wrote back in mid-July, where I had reached a cross-roads with my pair of socks:<\/p>\n

\"Skews<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Poorly tied knots in both skeins of yarn meant that I could not just knit my pair of socks straight on until morning. Instead I either had to had to find a way to match up the stripes (which involved cutting) and possibly run short of yarn or live with mis-matched (and mis-sequenced) socks.<\/p>\n

What I wanted everyone to tell me (and which you all did, down to a comment) was to go the harder route and cut the yarn.<\/p>\n

I am pleased to report that due to a pot of gold at the end of my rainbows, the cut sections of yarn happened to partially match the other ends of both balls, so I did not run short of yarn (had they not, it would have been a problem and I would have had to get creative).<\/p>\n

\"Rainbow<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

I finished the pair late Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

\"Skews,<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

I can’t begin to tell you how delighted I am with them.<\/p>\n

I also can’t begin to tell you how glad I am that I followed Laura’s advice<\/a> and went up two needle sizes after the inner ankle. They are still a smidge tight at the ankle because of the socks’ unusual construction, but they’re wearable and they could still loosen up a bit after I wash them.<\/p>\n

\"Got<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The pattern is Skew<\/a>, the yarn is Regia Nation (acquired in the Yarn Aboard 2 swap back in 2006 (coincidentally I managed to finish knitting the yarn from my Iceland-based partner the week I booked tickets to Reykjavik)), and I used 2.25mm and 2.75mm circular needles to knit them on.<\/p>\n

\"Clearly<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Obviously, I will not have any problem finding shoes to match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
