Arrow Socks
Arrow Socks
Pattern- Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch
Yarn- Brown Sheep's Wildfoote
Color- Master Grey
Needles- Clover DPN's size 1.5
Notes- I started Mark's socks the other day, and had to cast on a few more stitches then i should have- just to accomodate the intricate pattern. I should have followed my intuition when Mark said he had wide feet. He may actually have wide feel, but in general he is a petite man, and once he tried on the socks on the needle, it was obvious they were going to be way to big for his calves. Fortunately i had only gotten as far as one repeat of the pattern [so 1 inch of ribbing, plus 16 rown]. Ah well..... I will knit another swatch with size 1 needles and start over.
More info as the socks magincally appear!
