To reward myself for finishing up my MDK Baby Kimono (so that, with the Inside-Out Socks, made two FOs within a week!), I cast on for a new pair of socks instead of trudging on a picking up the next UFO. I owe Andy some socks, because the Diagonal Cross-Rib socks were supposed to be for him, but the size turned out too small for him but perfect for my Mom. So, I started a new project on Sept 13 and I am currently about 5 repeats away from finishing the first one.
Andy’s Diamond Waffle Socks project specs:
- Pattern: Diamond Waffle Socks from Knitty
- Yarn
- Cherry Tree Hill Supersock in Earth (this yarn is WONDERFUL!!)
- Leftover BMFA STR in Monsoon for toes (just some added insurance so that the socks can be long enough)
- Needles: US 1s
These are turning out GREAT. You can’t make out the diamonds that well with the darkness of the yarn, but the waffle effect is really nice, I like it a lot. The Lighter Circular Beginning worked out OK, though it did take a couple of tries. The Eye of Partridge heel is wonderful — so cushiony and really cool looking from the RS. A great guy sock heel, or more rustic sock heel for the ladies. And the size is looking like it’s gonna be perfect. Yay!
