tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347545812011-06-07T23:52:02.382-07:00Pattern of Goodness by Miss Lime! This sock was inspired by the Lime & Violet podcast of a similar name and by the fact that after listening to that episode, so many of our listeners had run-ins with snakes actually in their house.knittinglizziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09807731725971276444noreply@blogger.comBlogger121100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34754581.post-63604460944824482292007-06-09T04:41:00.000-07:002007-06-09T04:44:43.416-07:00Check it out! After talking with people at Knitter's Connection, especially Miss Lime, I've decided to revive the SOAS KAL. Won't you please join me? I think I'm going to use my limeaide and violet yarnlove, but we'll see. Anyone interested? email me at knittinglizzie@gmail.com.<br /><br />They had to pay super amounts of money when the pattern came out because it was downloaded soooo much! let's pay them back with some kick ass socks!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34754581-6360446094482448229?l=snakesocks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>knittinglizziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09807731725971276444noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34754581.post-1162437352321656762006-11-01T19:12:00.000-08:002006-11-01T19:15:52.330-08:00It's taken me long enough, but I have finished one sock using this pattern. Here it is:<br /><br /><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v696/westa77/snakesocks.jpg"><br /><br /><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v696/westa77/snakesocks1.jpg"><br /><br />I'm using Koigu's KPPPM in color #8334. It fits nicely in the foot, but is a bit loose around the leg. It will be a couple of weeks until I get to the second sock because I've got a more pressing project that needs to be finished. This is a fun pattern though!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34754581-116243735232165676?l=snakesocks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Beckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09356143125615446457noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34754581.post-1161223404466407982006-10-18T18:38:00.000-07:002006-10-18T19:03:24.743-07:00So I finished the first sock earlier in the month (and now am working everyday a lot at the whole foods, so I haven't had much time!) and it doesn't fit!!! My best friend tried it on, her roomate, everyone tried it on and it doesn't fit!!!!!<br /><br />This happened to me with the very first sock I made. I'm making the jaywalkers, but in the biggest size EVER! and it fits perfectly! Do I have gigantic feet? or am I knitting tooooo tightly for socks? I know I'm a tight knitter, but I'm not that tight!<br /><br />I've never made a sock pattern bigger, but how many stitches would I add if I wanted to make a 6th and 7th round? 6 to each side? I'd really like to make this pattern work for me! I really like it!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34754581-116122340446640798?l=snakesocks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>knittinglizziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09807731725971276444noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34754581.post-1160768860403611312006-10-13T12:47:00.000-07:002006-10-13T12:47:40.410-07:00<a href="http://snakesocks.blogspot.com/">Snakes on a Sock KAL</a><br /><a title="Photo Sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/72801044@N00/268708456/"><img height="282" alt="SnakesProgress10_13" src="http://static.flickr.com/83/268708456_25421c0050.jpg" width="200" /></a>hmmmm I need caffeine to get me thru the rest of this afternoon!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34754581-116076886040361131?l=snakesocks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maxi Fortendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02221409265688519425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34754581.post-1160768546566396032006-10-13T12:42:00.000-07:002006-10-13T12:42:26.970-07:00<a href="http://snakesocks.blogspot.com/">Snakes on a Sock KAL</a><br /><a href="http://static.flickr.com/83/268708456_25421c0050_s.jpg">http://static.flickr.com/83/268708456_25421c0050_s.jpg</a><br />Hi everyone!

That's just not mentioned in the pattern and there are so many different ways to M1, that it can be easy to get confused unless it's specified.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">From Miss Random Knitter:</span><br /></span><span class="postbody">The second N4 looks the same as (N4) of Round 4 of Repeat #4, so I ignored while knitting Round 3. Each repeat is similar, so I followed the same format.<br />Round 3 of Repeat #3 is the same as Round 2.<br />Round 4 of Repeat #3 is almost the same as Round 1 of Repeat #3, only replace "M1, K1, M1" with "Sl2, k1, psso". I tried this and it looks fine.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34754581-115877665734949953?l=snakesocks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>knittinglizziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09807731725971276444noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34754581.post-1158773483848025352006-09-20T10:29:00.000-07:002006-09-20T10:31:23.856-07:00Future space for Snakes on a Sock Knit Along!<br /><br />in the meantime go visit the podcast & blog for information on the pattern: <a></a><br />http://limenviolet.blogspot.com<br /><iframe src="http://www.google.com/gn/static_files/blank.html" style="position: absolute; display: block; opacity: 0.7; z-index: 500; width: 18px; height: 22px; top: 58px; right: 171px;" id="gn_notemagic" frameborder="0"></iframe><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34754581-115877348384802535?l=snakesocks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>knittinglizziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09807731725971276444noreply@blogger.com0
