I do have lots of crochet projects on the hook, but none that I can tell you about. So . . .
I am a confessed “sockaholic”, and I always have a pair of socks in play. I was thumbing through one of my stitch dictionaries and saw a swatch that called to me for a sock (a knitted sock). I like to make socks from the toe-up, 2-at-a-time. I selected a colorful yarn—Tofutsies (lots of green, yellow and blue; quite cheerful) and started working on the toes. I was quite excited when the toes were done and it was time to start the pattern on the instep.
Knit, knit, knit . . . . purl, purl, purl
Round and round I went . . . .
Do you see the lovely pattern stitch?
Me either.
All I see are the stripes.
Hmmm, beautiful yarn, but I must go back to the drawing board and find a stitch pattern that will let the stripes strut their stuff (why do all that work and not have it show up?). AND, I must look around my yarn cubicle for a solid or less-self-striping yarn for the stitch pattern that I am dreaming of.
