My Tidal Wave socks are finished! I love the feel of the TOFUtsies yarn. My gauge was about 8 2/3 stitches per inch with 2.25 mm needles, a little tighter than the pattern suggested. The tighter gauge gave me a sock that fit my size 6½ foot without modifying the pattern. The "Tidal Wave" pattern is from the South West Trading Company free patterns page.

Nice! I made a pair too. I really enjoyed the tofutsie yarn. I've washed and worn them a few times and they still look great.
ReplyDeleteSusan, Your socks look Great! I do love seeing the pattern knit up. Great work and they look good on too!
ReplyDeleteYour knitting is just beautiful! The cast-on, or is it cast-off, is perfect, I must keep on practising and hope to get as neat as you.

Rachel, Thanks for the complement. I use a long-tail cast on. I hold the stitch being formed with my right forefinger as I snug up the lower loop. I try to keep the distance between the stitches approximately equal to the height as I cast on. If you tighten the bottom loop too much, your cuff doesn't stretch so you can get the sock on.
