Off The Needles

Vanilla Latte Socks

In the last episode I mentioned how knitting gremlins made my sock cast on edge too tight and the leg too short.
pgknittingnurse contacted me on ravelry and made the most clever suggestion: unpick the cast on edge, knit up to lengthen the leg, and bind off using Jenny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off.
Being impatient, I cut off the 2x2 rib cuff of the sock, picked up the leg stitches, knitted up, and BO with JSSBO!!

Cutting your knitting is exhilarating!!

Tada!!

Spinning

These are the steps I used in order to experiment with Felicia Lo's technique of blending color by spinning from the fold:

I broke the fiber into chunks at the areas where there were color changes
I sorted these chunks into 7 groups based on their colors
I am spinning these groups from the fold using a longdraw method
