blogging. What brought me here today is a
pair of corn socks that I finally completed.
The color was impossible to capture. The manufacturer calls it "cactus", and it is a light shade of green, but not as light as the pictures. The yarn reminds me a lot of fixation yarn, only with a finer gauge.
I am not happy with the tuft. If I were to knit these again,
I'd leave more space between leaves and tuft, and make the tuft narrower.
It took me a long time to finish these socks because I associated them with a
negative period of my life. Finishing them gave me a sort of closure. I
still don't plan on wearing them anytime soon. Which is all right, because
it is warm enough for sandals and I will not need socks for a while.
Mind you, the corn fiber is like cotton, so they would still be
great for Summer, but I am stashing them away for now.
