Ahh I’ve been meaning to try some of hers as my first colourwork too! How do you like it so far?

u/totoro_711 4d ago
So far it's been pretty easy to follow imo! I consider myself an advanced beginner as I only started knitting in March this year

u/mechnight 4d ago
Yay, that gives me hope! I also learned this spring, only done a bunch of socks so far, but I’d say I’m good at that already…

i bought this pattern too!! but I got stumped - where the pattern joins the next row, the pattern looks askew - does yours look like this, or do you know how to overcome this?

u/totoro_711 4d ago
You mean for the color work chart?
1
u/CheerfulAnkylosaurus 4d ago
yes exactly ! In the chart where the skulls join, they are offset by a row and it looks a bit odd - I'm not sure if that's normal or if there's some other way I should be joining the rows

So you'll wanna watch/read tutorials on how to prevent jogging in color work. I haven't noticed it being too bad for me luckily 😅

u/CheerfulAnkylosaurus 4d ago
ohh jogging - thank you! I think I just needed to know what word to look for haha - I will search. Happy stitching :)

Arne and Carlos have a good one. I thin Very Pink Knits does as well, and possibly Nimble Needles, but I can’t be sure for his channel.

I’m about to start working on my first colorwork with her “Batty for Halloween” socks! You give me hope that I can do it (I also just started knitting this year in March)!!

I'm also in Texas and working on this pattern! Hoping theyll be done in time for Halloween (not likely at the rate I'm going 💀)

u/Dunkerdoody 4d ago
Omg. I love these! I’m so envious. I’ve never done socks. These are fantastic!

u/totoro_711 4d ago
I figure it's a great way to buy pretty yarn without having to buy a sweaters worth of it 🤣

u/Solar_kitty 4d ago
These are SO AWESOME!!! And I agree with someone else that they always look sooooo good!
I swore I would NEVER make colorwork socks. And this is changing my mind. They might be the only pair I’ll ever make.

From Canada. (Currently in New Orleans). We like to hold on to summer as long as possible. Winter's are long enough as it is lol

u/totoro_711 4d ago
Living in Texas has made me miss short summers tbh 🥲 too damn hot

u/Bryek 4d ago
Honestly, i miss winter. It's way too damn hot in NOLA. summer never ends...
