The pattern’s called “double eyelet-rib”, p.46 of Vol. I of Walker’s books. But I don’t know if it (or any lace pattern like it) will show up on the vaiegated Koigu you bought, actually. I chose it cause the solid was looking too, er, solid. But try it out: and if I do write up the pattern sometime, it will be great if someone else uses it to see if it is any good for a second attempt!

Gosh, that slightly variegated grey is still lovely.

Which lace pattern are you using? I’m thinking I’m going to slightly copy you with my Koigu, in that I’m thinking lace, too, but I don’t want to copy you *too* much!

Misfit, thanks for the list! I knit some last night and didn’t frog it so there’s hope for the pattern yet.

O-ho. Sepoy, you are wanting glossary?
1. frogging: unravelling knitting, the word used because the sound is similar to one frogs make: rippit, rippit, rippit (don’t ask.)
2. Koigu: brand name of the wool being used.
3. short-row: ingenious means of shaping resultant wool fabric.

Oh why bother, all you need to know is that I’m bitching about being lousy at sock knitting. Tis all.

1. Uh-oh on the size!
2. Yay for the lace pattern!
3. Panting for your pattern (not really, I don’t feel up to tackling socks yet, so you have some time)!

4. I love yarn that stands up to frogging, too.

5. Good thing I am not within stabbing distance

6. I put up a yarn store list as you wanted, check it out some time.

Can I have a decoder ring for this post?
