My favorite thing about Sock Madness last year was that it forced me to learn some new techniques. This year it looks like the first one is going to be colorwork.
Seriously, why didn't anyone ever tell me that instead of holding both yarns I could do the round with one color first (slipping the stitches of the opposite color) and then go around again with the second color? I could've made the We Call Them Pirates hat years ago!
Michelle, that sounds like a great technique. I don't plan to participate in Sock Madness, but are you able to tell me the name of the technique or the designer of the pattern? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is Invitation to the Dance by Caoua Coffee and the Ravelry page says that it will be available as a free download after Sock Madness has ended.
