Socktoberfest Quickie
Just a quick update today. I'm working as hard as I can on Sock Experiment 5 (SE5), trying to actually finish a pair before Socktoberfest ends. After all, there's only a little over a week left, ack!
Sock Experiment 5 Grows
I'm going to have to make a strong effort to forsake all other knitting so that I can make the deadline. (I know, there isn't really any penalty for failure here - I just want to do this right for myself!)
On size 4 dp's, the Micro-Spun is knitting up nice and soft, and the Baby Cable Rib has decent stretch to it. The 2's I used for my first try made too stiff a fabric to stretch, drape, and shape to the foot properly - I'm convinced that was my main problem with the fit in the toe-up socks. I may try toe-up again with Micro-Spun and size 4's to see if it works better.
But not until after I finish this pair.
