Confident
This week presents the first opportunity to test the accuracy of my new scale. I’m reworking the Horcrux pattern for sock-weight yarn with a slightly used skein of sock yarn.
Sock #1 is finished:
Will I have enough yarn to finish sock #2???
It’s looking good . . . well, if the scale is accurate.
I’m feeling confident enough to forge ahead.

Thanks, Kathleen!
And check out Margene’s finished pair. She added 5 stitches to the pattern repeat and also made the leg longer. Fabulous.
In other sock-related news, I finally got a pair of plain stockinette stitch, self-patterning ones off the needles and onto my feet:
I used my tried and true non-pattern:
- 64 stitches on 2.25mm needles;
- 20 rounds for the cuff;
- 50 rounds for the leg;
- 32 rows in the heel flap;
- pick up 17 sts for gussets;
- 55 rounds for the foot after the gusset decreases;
- wedge toe.
Simply enough that even I can remember.
Tine sent the yarn to me last year and I started and frogged several patterns with it before deciding simple is sometimes best.

The Name Is Revealed
See, I knew that last clue would be all you needed to guess the name of the seriatim socks.
Stitchy Fingerz was the first to guess correctly and she was followed shortly by Bonny.
And the correct answer was . . . .
If you are a Muggle and are wondering what the heck the name means, click here and it will all make sense. Or not.
So that’s it. The name is revealed and the pattern posted. Thanks for playing along.
Oh, and before I forget. If you have some spare change and are looking to add to your knitting library, I’m going to tempt you with this:
The new edition of Sarah Don’s fabulous book, The Art of Shetland Lace, is now available from Lacis. I ordered a copy as a gift for a friend and it arrived the other day.
It’s a wonderful book, that has now been rescued from OOP status.
Thanks for republishing, Lacis!
