I didn’t get to go and see the Yarn Harlot, but I made quite a bit of progress on the first pair of Holiday Socks. I am using Opal 6ply. I don’t want to talk about ALL the knots and the sections of yarn I have had to set aside to keep the pattern even some what consistant. Note to self: No more Opal 6ply self patterning yarn!
I used the chart in the “You’re Putting Me On Socks” pattern for starting the gusset and they look to be just right. Hubby’s size 10.5 foot is modeling them and I think they will be just right for the size 11 feet they are going to.
Sorry that you had to miss the book tour. But the sock looks great! Is Bubba better?
How odd about the Opal – I don’t think I’ve found a single not in the two skeins of Opal I’ve used (but neither were 6 plly). Hope Bubba’s feeling better!
I’m sorry to hear that your Opal yarn is giving you so much trouble – I haven’t heard about others finding knots in it before. Hopefully they (Opal yarns) won’t get sloppy with producing their yarn? Anyhoo, I so love your sock, it’s coming along so nicely! And I do hope Bubba’s feeling better!
