wheres-my-waffles

Filed under: General

I finally finished my first sock! No, it’s not the petite half of the chewbaca sock (I got bored with the sea of stockinette on that baby so it now lives in my UFO pile like a sad alien. Get it…ufo…alien…haha. Perhaps only I find that funny :) . The sock I finished is the toe-up blueberry waffle sock I mentioned a few days ago. Waffle Pattern..huh?? Now, if you’re looking at my sock shaking your head and thinking "Hmmm…that doesn’t look like the waffle pattern??.." you’d be correct. For who knows what reason I ended up with what looks like 2x2 rib despite the fact that I followed the pattern to a T. It’s not a pattern issue, it’s more of a "Morgan knits too tight" issue. On top of that, I don’t know if I like the colour. This is the yarn I dyed a few weeks ago and absolutely loved, but yeah, now that it’s been knit up I’m not so sure. Again, my too dark yarn obscured the pattern. None the less, these socks (or uhmm…this sock until I find the motivation to knit the other one) is exceptionally warm and cosy and will make a perfect gift for my mom to keep her feet warm during the California winter. Oh, and in case you’re like me and prefer knitting socks toe-up, Emma is putting the finishing touches and the toe-up version and will be releasing the pattern shortly so stay tuned!
