Side Effects May Include

I didn’t knit much this weekend – but I do have a clean garage! I consider that a fair trade for an unfinished polo.

I think I have figured out the pattern for the second of the RubySapphire Sock Club Socks. There isn’t much to show yet (I keep changing my mind and adjusting), but I started a general purpose sock with one of the Side Effect Patterns from that effort.

As a side effect sock, it should have a name like headache or nausea.

The yarn is the Instant Gratification in Chocolate Covered Kisses from Sue, my Special Swap Pal for February. You can see the stitch pattern better (there is a stitch pattern – I swear) when it the sock is stretched – it will look great in a solid yarn but I also like it in the Chocolate Covered Kisses. I’ll type the pattern up for general consumption after I get the heel turned and figure out what happens on the instep. I’ve actually got notes for a couple of Side Effect Patterns…
