Koigu Diamonds - Second Attempt
We are in the ICEBOX in Colorado today! Sub-zero temps at our house this morning and heavy fog at times. That's not snow on the tree - it's FROST. Brrrr!
I'm almost back to where I started on the Koigu Diamonds sock. This time, I'm picking up the chains around the edges properly, and it looks much neater:
I'm weaving in the ends as a I go (it doesn't look like it in the picture - I'll trim them all once I've completed the current 'round' of modules.) The pattern suggests you work toe-up on this sock, leaving holes for the heel and toe, completing the ribbing at the top, and then going back and putting in the heel and the toe. I think after this round, I'll go ahead and put the toe in now, just so I get a better sense of how this sock is going to fit (and thus, who it will belong to once completed.)
As you can see in the photo, there are quite a few stitches that need to wait around on stitch holders. The split rings I'm using are not satisfactory, so I will pick up some knitter's safety pins when I'm in town today.
