Round 5 Specs
April 21, 2007 at 10:47 pm sockstar 4 comments
I know that you’re all very busy trying to figure out what the next pattern may bring. I’m happy to say that these specs probably won’t help much. The designer used Cherry Tree Hill in a solid color called Loden but i went a totally different way with Knit Picks Memories in a color called Hawaii. I was surprised to find that the variegated yarn worked pretty well. They’re both fingering weight yarns and the yardage would work out to about 420 yds. There was plenty left over from one 220 yd skein of KP Memories after the first sock.
The needles required are US 1. Both the designer and I used the Magic Loop but feel free to use dpns if you like.
We’ll send out the pattern on Friday, April 28 27 (Thanks to SopranoSpinner for catching my error) between noon and 6pm.

I know I’m out already (long ago!) but April 28th is Saturday. Do you mean Friday the 27th or Saturday the 28th? Thanks!

Ah well. That won’t give me much of a start before night falls in West Cork – whereas I think my worthy Sister in Socks will have a straight daytime run through with hers. Even if I go to bed very late and get up very early, she’ll in all likelihood be finished before I pick up the following morning.
Nothing to be done, I guess. This time difference is a real pain.

I take it we’re not getting a gauge or stitch count on this one?

I can hardly believe it is nearly the start of Round 5! Good Luck, everyone!
