kitty: Musical Toes

Item : Musical Toes content: Noro Kureyon Sock Yarn needles: 2.25mm

For some reason the colour combination of this yarn kind of reminded me of some of Annie Albers latter works. So for the stitch pattern I searched through old Bauhaus photos and also old stitch pattern books from the 20's and 30's. I found one photo of a vest that Annie Albers husband was wearing that had a similar pattern in a light and dark yarn.

The design is also similar to a weaving pattern that was attributed to the Bauhaus school. So I played around with it until I was able to duplicate the appearance or at least as close as I could. It is also a bonus since it is a ribbed stitch. I had read on a lot of blog sites that people are having problems with this yarn holding the shape during the day. So lets hope the all over ribbed will help.
