Diamond Patch
This is another of Joslyn's sock of the month socks. Each diamond is picked up and knit separately, so while it looks really interesting, there's a lot of weaving in to be done. Did I mention I hate weaving in? Still, I've not done one of these diamond patterns before, and it's novel. Several people suggested doing it all in one thread (which isn't feasible), but four does turn out to be mostly feasible, and cuts down on the weaving in quite a bit. I hope they don't feel different because of that. ARGH! I made one pair with one more set of diamonds than the other! They're different leg lengths. Sulk sulk sulk. Must rip out cuff ribbing and half-diamonds and restart. Hmm. I wonder if the Bad Sock is too long or too short. If it's too long, that would require less extra knitting to fix... Finally done. Happily, the bad sock was too long, so fixing it wasn't interminable. (For: Mikka)
