I've finished the first snowflake sock. When I blocked it I wasn't sure I was going to be able to see the snowflakes with the knit purl sts instead of using another colour. I was even thinking about doing the second sock with the snowflake in white, even though I don't like colour knitting. However, once the sock was dry it ended up looking a lot better than I thought it would. I am finally back to working on the second sock after having a nasty cold for the last week. I hope I'll get the second sock done by Sunday.

Half A Snowflake

I love your twist on these..
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea :)
Those look great - it didn't occur to me to try that - I'm not a colorwork gal either.

you can see the snowflakes and they look fab! :D
ReplyDeletethey look great! I'm so glad you post. I'm also purling the color pattern and I was getting worried that I wouldn't be able to see the snowflakes too.
