I worked hard today(while watching an old movie and having a warm cuddly cat in my lap) and finished the second 'trek' sock. It's soft and cuddly and fits like a dream. It was raining outside so no action shots in the grass. I organized my yarn and put it all away so it will be ready for the next project. Then I cast on my 'birthday' yarn and have been experimenting with stitch patterns. The k2,p2 for 2 rows then k 2 rounds bit the dust quickly because you couldn't even see it on the self striping yarn. Now on an even number of stitches I was doing a k3 p1 pattern so it spirals around. I'm not going any further with this as it's pouffy and doesn't do any thing for the socks fit. Next is going to be a trial of k3 p2 around on an uneven number of stitches with a more pronounced ribbing I think. I'll let you know how it works out. The stripy yarn doesn't show the patterns well so sometimes just a plain rib is best in the end.The knitting bag version 2.0 is working out well. I'll have put the directions in a pdf so others can use it. Another project in the works.
