possible patterns for St Pat's Sox

on Pink Lemon Twist Mar 14, 06
i saw green sox that would be great for St Pat's Day
they utilized the Cloverleaf Eyelet Rib
by Barbara Walker
pattern found in A Treasury of Knitting Patterns
good thing i read the rest of the epic about sox
hhmmmm
this MITE be a future sock pattern for me
it will be a math experiment to get the pattern
she added a few extra purls
but ended up with uneven # for instep & heel
i will be doing these (AS ALWAYS) on 2 circs
so i will have to make a few adjustments on the numbers
she also posted a tip about the stair step
decreases on gussets
she got the info from Dave
Slip one knitwise, slip one purlwise,
slip both stitches back to the left needle
and knit through the back.
THEN - on the next round (the "work even" round)
you knit this stitch through the back so its twisted.
will try this tip when i get to a gusset decrease on
a pair of socks
in the mean time
today is gone
it's 8 PM
gotta take another antibiotic
gonna go work on the stuff for the "BOTTLE"
maybe finish the bag for ITE3
think i know what i am doing
the pattern for the gloves should be available soon
gotta get yarn & needles
OTOH
i have some Merino i bought @ Mass Ave
Lucy Neatby makes a Merino
got some @ Stitches & Scones
i COULD finish the English Garden Bag
IF i could decide what i am gonna
embellish it with
tomoro i go buy needles for the gloves
for Penny
then i hafta figure out what i did for the scarf
& hat so it kinda matches
getting off to make toast
