I like to think of myself as a storyteller. Mostly I tell stories about knitting.

Pattern: Polypodium vulgare Socks (Polypodium vulgare is a fern)
Designer: Hunter Hammersen
Yarn: Malabrigo Sock
Colorway: Violeta Africana (which makes me think of eggplants)
Needles: 2.25mm

Knitting

Quality Knitting Time with my Stylist

Hunter sometimes does really neat patterned heels, but I was pleased when I got to the heel of this one that there was no chart. easy peasey. I really like this pattern and the resulting socks. They look complicated, but the pattern is not that hard and the sock fits well.
Purple Sock
After this photo was taken, I screwed up the pattern and had to tink back three rows. Evidently, Tierra’s drama on the Bachelor was so distracting that I just dropped a stitch.

Ps. To see what other folks are working on, go check out Tami’s Amis.

  1. I’m just about to start a Hunter Hammersen pattern – Ensnared. I find all the designs so interesting it was hard to pick which one to start with. Lovely purple!

    Pretty color for your socks. Sometimes I wonder if it is worth watching TV and knitting since I end up having to correct mistakes if it’s a difficult pattern. Vanilla socks would be a great project for TV watching.

      I feel like 99% of the time, I have no problem, but this time, well, I got them truly fracked and ended up tinking back more like 5 or 6 rows.

    I love the sock. The color is amazing. And it does look complicated.

  4. Karen says:

    The sock is so pretty. I really like that yarn.

  5. Bonnie says:

    Very pretty! It’s funny how much color influences how I feel about a pattern. When I saw it on Rav in gold–meh. When I see it in pretty purple–hooray!

    • Katie says:

      I agree! and it takes time to figure out which color I like for which pattern. I almost never follow the pattern color. That’s just not me.

    Love the color!
