Do the (Harvest) Dew.

Fortunately for June socks, my latest project craze is not so portable or transportation friendly as they are, or were, rather.

I'm mostly happy with the way my Harvest Dew socks turned out. After reading some of the project notes from other knitters who tried this pattern, and after my last experience with Socks That Rock, I decided to modify the stitch count. I worked over a total of 44 stitches. As I knit, my socks looked a little narrow. I was briefly concerned that I wouldn't be able to get them on but was eased at the discovery that they fit, almost perfectly. My only major upset is with my cast-on edge. I wish it was... stretchier, or something, but it gets the job done. I'm not losing circulation or anything like that.

Danger was put-out at the idea of sharing his puppypuff with me for purposes of this photo shoot, especially during nap-time; Dulce was too busy playing to participate.

I love the socks! I feel like my cast on edge is too loose. Then again, I have long, narrow feet and calves
:(

Those socks are lovely! The pattern really works with the colours in the yarn too, very nice!

I'm probably teaching granny to suck eggs here, but I've got two great loose cast ons which I use a lot for socks. One is by Nancy Bush, and it's an Estonian (I think) cast on: http://youtu.be/Frc5_9AIVy0 (just remember to use TWO needles! Ask me why I'm stressing this...)

The other one is Jeny's Stretchy Slip-knot Cast On: http://youtu.be/3n8E3I6Cg2k
(this one is properly stretchy but takes me forever to do!)

Great socks you've made! I guess you could cast on with bigger needles to get it a bit more stretchy.
