Knitting and Baking--what could be better??!! I love watching "The Great British Bake Off" Show! and now, Becky Greene has designed a sock for the Great Brititsh Sock Off for Sept and October 24 sock group on Ravelry. This is going to be fun!
Of course, I'm behind as usual--didn't get my start quite as soon as I like. Printed off the first two clues, looking for the best sock yarn in my stash.
Each clue has a recipe included--both look interesting and delicious.
What yarn to use? Going through stash, I find many yarns that create stripes.
Looking at the first two clues, stripes would not work—dig through yarn again and find a solid
Malabrigo sock yarn—that is aged!! Perfect!
Off we go! The ribbing is different—4 knit 2purl—was hard to remember not k2 p2 as usual ribbing or k1p1– once over that hurdle, comes OH NO! Cables!! I do not like cable knitting but I will not give up!
I’m getting the hang of this pattern; wish I’d started both socks at same time! Oh well, more practice on cables for me.
Got the heel finished, heading to toe.
