I've been busy...
I've been busy working (yes, actually I do have a job, even though I spend too much time blogging and surfing the internet... not to mention crocheting!)
I didn't stop crocheting though... I may actually spend more time crocheting as my new job is quite far from my home, and I will take advantage of the time I spend in buses and trains to crochet... as soon as I get used to having my sore cold fingers crochet as if I were warm and comfortable at home.
I wonder why I never thought of crocheting socks before I found crochetville.org...
For this first try I used a n# 3 crochet and a sport weight acrylic...
Not the best choice : the material is quite thick and will only fit in my (too) big boots, besides, it's starting to pill already :/
The stitch I chose is a kind of back post single crochet (the actual name of it is "back loop single crochet" if I trust stichguide.com : the hook is inserted in the back strand of the stitch from the previous row), not the best choice either, it tends to stretch into an openwork material, which goes against its primary purpose : keep me warm...
You Knit What??
Ok, that's just nasty. At least that's what they said... I actually happen to like this sweater... very much!
I just love you knit what?? because when it doesn't make me laugh with the loads of monstruosity the fiber world hosts 'and believe me, it does!), it gives me tons of inspiration! great blog!
invisible end
A great way to finish the last row and make the last stitch perfectly similar to the others : try the hidden ends method !
