These are knit from the toe up, a route I’ve taken before but not very often. What’s entirely new is that I’ve never knit a pair of socks with an all-over cable pattern.
There is a special Ravelry group called 52 Weeks Months of Socks. Joining this group doesn’t mean that you need to knit all 52 pairs of socks in the book, or I would never have joined. The idea is just to knit socks from the book together and help, encourage and inspire each other. A KAL (knit-along) for 2 pairs of socks is started every other month, with prizes and points to win. (I have yet to discover what the point of the points is.)
To win a prize or points for the Linea KAL, I should have posted a picture of my completed socks before February 28th. Too late. Well, never mind, the socks will be my prize. Here is the start of my Linea socks – not too difficult, but interesting and enjoyable so far.
Beautiful light colored yarn that will show off the pattern so well!
Normally I choose darker colours for socks, but I agree that this light shade is great for the pattern.
Your sock knitting is very inspiring, and thank you for sharing that ravelry group! Your toe-up pair shows a very promising start!
There are so many Ravelry groups that it can be hard to find the right ones – I’m happy to share my discoveries.
I take the same walk nearly every morning, but it’s a nature walk on the edge of my town.
This means that I see it in all seasons and all weathers, with changing vegetation and various birds and mammals – it’s new every day.
That sounds wonderful. Enjoy your walks!
