When I saw it, I had to have it. Miss Babs makes great sock yarn so I know I can knit anything and I’ll be happy with the results. At first I thought, ‘a pair for me and a pair for Jenn’. Then it was,’ who gets orange and who gets bile green?’ Then, ‘how about one of each color? This is stupid. Just use both skeins in each sock’. OK. So that’s settled. Next. What pattern? I knit a swatch. (Yes. I swatch!) I could knit one round before the color changes. Hmmm. I’ve got to think about this.
There’s always entrelac. Eight rows of seven stitches was about as close as I could get. I think nine diamonds around should be about right. Also the first round should be in garter stitch so it will lay flat. Or maybe reverse stockinet. I don’t know yet. I’m still playing. I knit this with size one needles and I want to try zeros. I bought an eight inch circular and I haven’t tried it yet.
