I fell in love with…
\"\"<\/a>
the Achilles Teal Mist yarn from Barking Dog Yarns<\/a> and was planning to make Mashad socks from the Silk Road Socks book<\/a> next and needed a semi-solid or solid to work with. Thus, the Misty Mashads were born.
\nUm, I should probably disclaim that the reason I needed a semi-solid was that I’d already tried two different variagated yarns and they’d looked a hot mess. I had all these grand ideas of how these socks looked like stained glass windows and I was going to have socks that made people think of this
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nInstead, I got this (socks that would be one third cream and pink\/green striped on the other two thirds)
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n So, I started off for the third time with 2.0mm needles and was getting gauge perfectly, but the socks were a wee bit tight, so I switched to 2.25 in time for the foot. Thank goodness I did or I would have had to gift them to a friend with size 7-7.5 feet since my feet are 7.5-8. But as it is, they are just a smidge tight in the foot and ankle and I prefer they be a wee bit tight to a wee bit loose because this will show off the pattern better (and I don’t like wrinkles in my socks). Not to mention that they will stretch a little when I block them, she typed optimistically.
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nPlease note that according to the book, switching needle sizes is not the preferred method for sizing a sock. These may wear out a little more quickly than designed, but I was being lazy and they look great, so I’m going to fly by the seat of my pants on a wing and a prayer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
