I’ve been wanting to play around with color stranded cables for a while now and socks are the perfect platform for experimentation- small, portable, and they knit up pretty quickly.
This yarn has been sitting in my stash cabinet since I finished my Jolly Rancher vest (which is a fair isle vest pattern by Eunny Jang and can be found free on ravelry!) I’m very happy to be stash bustin’ along with playing around with new techniques.
There’s a stained-glass feel to the stitch pattern. I’m thinking that if the cables were black and the background was a gradient yarn like Noro, the stained-glass effect would be even more pronounced. Perhaps I might give it a try in the next pair.
For those that would like to recreate, I’ll be working up a chart in the next few days.

Absolutely stunning! And they would look definitely awesome in black with a gradient yarn as background. You should totally try to submit those to knitty or a similar publication. The design is beautiful and you make wonderful photos – just give it a try!

Thanks reWOLLuzza! I just may take your advice and try that. I’ve never published a design before and it would be exciting to give it a try.

Oh… I love it! I’ve been wanting to play with color more, as everything I do is either solid colors or stripes, or planned color placements like in toys or something. But I’ve been meaning to try this technique for a while now. Maybe I’ll actually get to it!
