WIP: Celtic Socks! :D

I'm knittin' again! I think I'm going to make socks for everyone this year...they are so fun and fast! And they are the only thing that I can really knit to fit someone with my particular guage. I always get confused about that.

These socks are stranded, and in my chart sometimes there are up to nine sts of one color in a row...I think thats a LONG strand to leave behind with as big as my guage is, so I've been twisting a stitch about every 4-6 stitches on the long sequences of stitches. I've never done stranded knitting, so I hope I'm doing it right! And I hope they wont snag.

And I might add.... these are for ME. I have hardly ever knit anything for myself. Well, anything that has fit or been finished.

Those look really cool? What pattern are you using for the design?

I looked close, I don't see any mistakes whatsonothin'! Keep it up!

Thanks

I am using a design pattern that someone here sent me the link to, but I had to search around for the site that had; it I believe I found on a blog site. I love it so much! It's 24 stitches wide, and my pattern is 48 stitches wide, so I have two repeats of it. Both sides SHOULD look exactly alike, but the top sock picture has gaps in the swirl bottom. I'm actually going to have to rip back, because I did notice a mess up on the other side, and more than likely I wont remember about that for my next sock. I don't want them to be a row off.

Thanks

I love this sock so far! and I'll be starting my second as soon as I get to the heel of this one.

ohhh I love the colors!! and well it looks very nice so far! :D although I see what you mean about the 2 stitches but it looks great either way!! :D

I've actually ripped back and redone the chart, the sock is perfect on both sides now as far as I know - so yipee! And it's funny because the first time I attempted to start knitting the chart again, I made the same mistake as before.

Thanks everyone

Those look great!! I think Silver used that same pattern for a black and white pair of socks a year or two ago. I was amazed!

Yea, I think her webpage of finished knit items was the page I was sent to from here. I ended up finding the design elsewhere and I was ecstatic!
