I have not been able to do much sock knitting since I slept on my elbow wrong in late June. Using barbecue tongs and knitting tightly on sock needles makes it ache. It’s odd but slowly mending. But doing just a few rounds at a time has allowed me to finish my Rose Quartz Calcareous socks.
\n<\/a>
\nI really like the Socks that Rock lightweight for good cable pop!
\n<\/a>
\nAlthough, I have to say this Rose Quartz colorway is not my favorite, and I do like pink. Here though it has too much lavender in it, and it looks more like luncheon meat than rose quartz.<\/p>\n

You can also see that the gusset decreases are on top of the foot. The pattern is Calcareous<\/a> by Hunter Hammersen of Violently Domestic<\/a>. It’s a well-written pattern and the top-of-the-foot decreases fit the feet very well.
\n<\/a>
\nHunter does interesting things with sock construction while maintaining top-down knitting, which is what I prefer. This cable pattern is rather ingenious in that it looks complicated, but most of the rounds are in fact just ribbing.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

With those done, I went to knit the second sock of what I call my Corn on the Cob socks. It’s getting there.
\n<\/a>
\nI may have purchased that black\/white\/yellow boxy bag just for this pair of socks. I got it from ZigZag Stitches<\/a>. This is my third bag from her, and they are really well constructed. I love the contrasting lining.
\n<\/a>
\nOnce I get this sock done, I plan to use this beautiful purple sock yarn.
\n<\/a>
\nIt has cashmere in it!<\/p>\n

Happy knitting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
