Pattern 6 Specs
May 5, 2008
Let the flogging commence (preferably with nothing more lethal than a wet noodle). I deserve it. I nearly forgot to post the Round 6 specs today. Perhaps it was the fiber fumes. The incredible amount of touring. The wine. I don’t know but here I am with a small peace offering. I have the specs for you AND a little something extra.
The next sock will be the sock formerly known as “E” and it requires:
Yarn: 340 yards fingering weight - Some Assembly Required “Wool Socks for Summer” in Tonal Apricot / Socks That Rock in Cobalt Bloom
Needles: US Size 1.5 (2.5 mm)
Gauge: 8.5 st /in
You’ll also need about 12″ of smooth scrap yarn in fingering weight and a crochet hook of an appropriate size (2-2.5mm) for a provisional cast on. Those of you who, like me, use the magic loop, may also want to have a few dpns on hand. (same size as your circ)
Oh, and y’all are in luck. Carole and I have been having so much fun we decided that there will indeed be a SM3. I hope that this little tibit redeems me for my tardinees a bit.

Yes, when? Please tell me it’ll be in the morning - I have to leave work at 1 to meet my carpool to dance weekend, and if I don’t get the pattern before then… ack!
Breathe, breathe, no panic. Right.

Yea! SM3 is a go! Yea! WooHoo! After I go have a little lie down to recover from bouncing so high that I hit my head on the ceiling I will go root around to see what the STR color looks like and see what I have that might give the same effect. Not that I’m in competition anymore but I wanna knit along.
