Spiraling Coriolis Sock - Ta Da!

-
I was wondering if I'd be able to come to grips with the unique sock structure of Cat Bordhi's socks......starting the whirlpool toe is quite interesting....
This second one was much easier than the first.....so I must be getting my mind around the wonderness of it all!!!!
Here they are - done - fini - and Caelee approves.

    Those are pretty. I love seeing how all the different colourways look (of all the socks we've made so far, these are the worst fit on me...it's a bummer).

    Nice socks but I'm more interested in Caelee as she looks just like one of my previous cats, Smudge. Awwwh.

    Hi Caelee! Are you as confounded as I am about the whirlpool toe as I am?

    I've tried the toe method, but no matter how many times I tried...I made a mess of it!

    Tricky spirals and I love the colors.
    The beginning of the toe looks like a spider web!

    Gosh, those are gorgeous! I just finished a pair of socks, too, for my boss's wife, in some stash Regia I had. It was one of the jacquards in greys/blacks colorway and I put bright red cuffs/heels/toes. (I hope she likes them....) Right now I'm totally frustrated with the peasant heel technique because I can't seem to find an easy way to get those dang "held" stitches back onto the needles without much gnashing of teeth. One time I got so mad that I...oops, I didn't mean to go off on a rant!! Anyhoo, I love your blog and I'll be checking back frequently! Take care--Bo

Rolling Thunder Gauntlets Fluency Gloves Dryad, by Sivia Harding for Twist Collective, Winter 2009 a personal favourite right now :) Lumen, by Sivia Harding for Brooklyn Tweed's Wool People 4! Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic.  I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention. Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic. When I did some research on line, I was intrigued by her beaded knits and signed up right away! "Bead Whimsey" did not disappoint! Sivia brought so many examples of her beaded knits. We talked about the different beads available out in the bead wor

Well, here are the 3 videos that detail what I had planned, how I progressed and while I didn’t finish as per the schedule I’d set myself….it is finished and I’m happy! This first video details the plan…..and also has updates on my sock knitting. This video was my week 1 update….and then, well, things all got complicated and I disappeared until well, right now! February 17, 2023! Yes, I’ve finished the gorgeousWonderland Shawl by Chloe Thurlow! It’s such an effective design - easy intarsia blocks broken up with a horizontal line…..and finished off with vertical crochet or embroidered lines for that tartan look!
