More FOs: Carolina

Saturday, August 02, 2008

Yes, more FOs! I posted these on Ravelry in late June when I finished them but now I took them outside to get better photos. These socks were the May 2008 challenge in Sockdown: Ravelry. The first round of Sockdown continued in June and July as well, but after finishing this pair I got sucked into Sweater Land. I haven't checked back with the group in a long while but I guess the plan was to start round #2 in September 2008. To tell you the truth, I'm a little over the sock thing for the time being. I'm pretty sure I'll join the second round at some point but for now, I'm happy with my sweater (or, mostly cardi) projects).

Project: Carolina's Cottage (Ravelry), cast-on: May 9 2008, cast-off: June 30 2008
Pattern: Carolina by Gigi Silva/Momma Monkey (available as a free Ravelry download)
Yarn: sKNITches Limited Edition sock yarn (60% superwash merino / 30% bamboo / 10% nylon), colorway "Cottage" (creamy white/petal pink/fresh green & chocolaty brown)
Needles: 2.5 mm circular
Mods: Toe-up, two-at-a-time on one circular, replaced the k3tog's with a centered double decrease, eye-of-partridge-heel (see below), added calf-shaping.
