So Hopefully pictures of Augusta, pom poms and all, will be up soon. Until then, check out our finished Shibui Toe-Up Socks. We finished them quite some time ago, but Mom has decided to redo her cast off to make it a bit more stretchy. We've been trying out this cast off for toe-up socks, and so far, it seems to be working just wonderfully.
Toe-Up Sock by Anne Berk
Yarn: Shibui Sock in colors 3602 (left) & 4201 (right)
Needles: We both like socks on two circs .. we used Addis, I think size #2
This was our first time doing toe-up socks, and our first time knitting with Shibui. Toe up is so nice ... no worrying about picking up gusset stitches, and the yarn was just gorgeous. I don't know if the pictures even do it justice ... Mom's look like strawberry fields or watermelon slices, and mine remind me of cool blue water ... it really seems like you could almost dive into it. Anyway, we love the socks, and the pattern was written so clearly .. great for our first toe-up sock!
So stay tuned for more sock posts (and other accumulated FOs) ... we're becoming regular sock addicts here at knit two together. If we didn't have so much yarn for so many beautiful sweaters, we might abandon other forms of knitting all together!
