Its Done and It Fits

My first sidewinder is all done and I am very glad to report it fits perfectly, YAY!

I like the long stripes created by this pattern:

And you can hardly notice the differences between the increases and the decreases on the worn sock!

And now if you will excuse me I have to go wash the floors!

Act IV is Done, Ready for the Grand Finale

All published acts are done here. I have a weird object:

The almost finished object

that looks like a sock if you stage it with the right props :)

My almost ready first Sidewinder

It looks nice doesn’t it?

You want to see what holds it?

What holds it together for now

And now the only thing left to do is wait patiently for The Master to publish the Grand Finale for us.

One observation that will be proved true or false only after the Grand Finale: I have a very big difference between the paired decreases side and the paired increases one, both in the heel and in the toe. The decreases look much better on the open object but I think the much tighter increases will look better on the finished worn sock, let us wait and see.

And I also suspect I will not be able to put this sock on my foot, the leg part seems to me too narrow and the arch will be the main obstacle, so I can either put a zipper at the back or the wicked girl will have yet another pair of socks, shoosh!

Act III is Done

OK, I just finished Act III of Nona’s fabulous PerpenSOCKular Pattern and this time remembered to take photos before plunging into Act IV.

You are invited to look while I slip my toes in the toe that magiacally appeared in my knitted object:

Look at that toe magic!

I am so excited I must show you another detail of it:

Yet another peep

And before I go start Act IV (I must be ready to the Grand Finale when it is published!) here is the whole sock to be at the end of Act III:

The Whole Sock to be

One last look and I am gone knitting:
