I had a really hard time taking pictures of it, too. I’ll admit that I was also intimidated by the pattern. But my blog stalking, er, I mean, reconaissance on you told me you were up for it. Given the complexity of the pattern, I found it nice knowing I only had to knit the one sock. It’s a pattern I had admired for a while, but passed over for being too complex. When you said you liked cables, it seemed like an opportunity to stretch on a pattern where I might otherwise run out of steam. I found this happily in keeping with the theme of the swap, so I went for it. The actual knitting of the sock turned out to be very fun. Round by round, it’s totally manageable while this remarkable pattern is unfolding. But you’re right, it’s not a fast knit. The pattern is very clearly written, though. That said, if you get stuck or confused at all, please let me know and I hope I can help.

P.S. – Compatto is the name of the store where I bought the yarn and pattern. It means “close-knit” in Italian.

But that twisted flower sock is so pretty. Must. Fight. Startitis.

So many yarns, so many patterns…………………..

But I have to admit that I really like a nice ribbed sock for everyday…

Wow, what a great sock, and you only have to knit one of them. I am sure you will knit it with no difficulty at all.

I love the Hercules colorway. My sister gifted some of that to me and it is one of my favorite Fleece Artist colors.

Feel Better!!!!!
