WIP: Celtic Socks! :D

[Bastelmutti]

Those socks look great!

I just learned stranded knitting in the form of Latvian mittens, and my teacher mentioned that the strands in the back shouldn't be longer than 3 stitches. It was a challenge in places where I had to use 3 colors, though, so I did fudge it to 4 or so sometimes. Longer than that would have caught in the back. Hope that helps.

Those look great. I love the pattern. Hmmm, I think I might need me some goodlookin' socks like that!

That does help actually, thanks a lot! I am worried when the strands are an inch long

(I love this little guy, she's so perfect!)

I have knit some more of this sock. There's one mistake, but this time it really didn't bother me. I'd rather there be an extra green stitch than missing ones. I'm really starting to love this design!

The only thing I'm not liking is that my guage has become tighter and tighter! I need to loosen up

I love the colors.

Hm, I found that with fair isle my knitting does get tighter and tighter. Maybe after you get them knitted and wear them for a bit they will loosen? :thinking:

[humblestumble]

Thanks Well, I don't believe I am using the fair isle technique, but it is stranded throughout. They are similar enough techniques though. I bet just knowing about the strands makes us a little paranoid of snags. That's how I am. But I am trying to make it looser. But i am at the heel now, so I am hoping there will be no worries there.

And onward with the pictures!
