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.
ReplyDeleteThe Tidal Wave pattern is now available for purchase from the designer on Ravelry.
