that's the start of my Norwegian Stocking for MJ's KAL!! it's an addictive knit. skipped lunch today b/c i couldn't put it down. there is a problem though (isn't there always with me?), the tint or shade of that blue isn't quite right. i was hoping for a subtle and muted effect, but this particular blue in combination with the brown and beige is screaming a bit. thinking about ripping back and using beige instead.
float-side out. wondering why the cuff is poofy and dense enough to stand a little? there is elastic in there, encased with a knitted hem (Marnie has a great tutorial here.) there were 9 DPNs involved in the hem-turning, but i'm pleased. it's clean finishing, and my stockings will be well behaved.
i like the blue! it's very fun and a nice blue to boot. vote blue! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the blue!!!! it's fun, it's spunky, and I second Andrea its a nice blue to boot. It would be to boring with beige.
ReplyDeleteM and I both vote blue! :)
I like the blue, too. Blue, blue, blue! Or, add brown stitches to break up all the blueness.

The blue is my favorite part!
