One Perambulate Sock Finished
Finally a finished one, at least half a pair of socks anyway. I finished up my first Perambulate Sock yesterday. This sock was a whole year in the making, as I first started knitting it in September 2007. I had no idea what I was doing and I definitely picked a much too difficult sock for my first go at it. I didn’t even knit a gauge swatch and the result was something that would not fit over my ankle.
So I put it away. For a long time. I picked it back up while on vacation this year. I ripped the whole thing out and knit a gauge swatch. I moved up two needle sizes and I was on my way again. So much easier now that I know so much more about sock knitting and knitting in general.
Here is the first one:
It is knit on Zenstring Lotus Toes fingering weight in the Jamie colorway. Looks pretty good I think 
It has the look of cables without cables. I do not recommend this pattern for a beginner. Look for a pattern from Knitting Pure and Simple for that. Off to cast on the second sock!
VERY nice! Looks like a fun pattern (if it’s not your first sock, as you said – yeah yikes)
