Pattern: <\/strong>“Nordwand Socks” by Birgit Grunwald
Yarn:<\/strong> Noro Silk Garden Sock (colour 245)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method<\/strong>: Handknit, 2.50mm needles
Completed<\/strong>: July 11, 2024.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was looking for something different to do with striping yarn and socks… I’d bought the pattern a year or so ago, and it seemed like time. I didn’t do the fairisle patterning in the heel area; my thinking was that with the stripey yarn, doing the sock as a hexagon, attached on opposite sides and then with ankle and toe attachments, would create all the visual interest I needed\/wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pattern was pretty straightforward and it kept my interest to knit! I was disappointed to realize that my second sock is clearly smaller than my first sock. It looks like the hexagon part of the second sock is about 2 rows short of the first. I may have misread something\/knit something incorrectly, but I don’t see any obvious mistakes. I don’t usually have problems with wildly varying gauge in my knitting, although the gauge in the 2 socks does seem different, measured after the fact (9 rows\/inch in the first, 10 rows\/inch in the second). I am tempted to blame the thick-and-thin nature of the yarn itself, although I would have thought that would even out over the span of the hexagon. In any case, they are reasonably slouchy socks, and I don’t notice enough of a difference when wearing them to decide I’m going to care :^) . Instead, I’ll cast on for another pair of socks using this method, but with a more even-thickness yarn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
