Cubist Socks

So I managed to have a finished project this week, even if it is a pair of socks. These are my Cubist Socks in Knit Picks Stroll Hand-Painted (Make believe).

There are a couple of errors in the pattern, nothing crucial though. Firstly, the cuff chart is mistakenly mentioned as cable chart in the instructions. Secondly, after heel turning the st count is 66 not 72 as written. Even with these error, the socks were smooth sailing knitting experience once I had determined the right needle size for my feet. (The pattern does not have a lot of give, remember). And I love the FO.

Since Eid, I have been adding up new projects to my queue and casting on a few. I have started a cardigan, a shawl and a pair of socks. As is the case with working on many projects at a time, I have little to show in the way of progress, except for a finished sock:

The pattern is Cubist Socks. I am enjoying knitting it, despite the fact that I had to rip have a sock and re-knit the sock leg in one needle size larger. The original might have worked but the pattern has little give (as mentioned in the pattern)and stretched, the cubes bulge in odd ways. With the larger needles, that problem went away and I switched back to the smaller size beyond the heel. The yarn is Knit Picks Stroll Hand-painted (Make Believe colorway).
