Little Waves sox

Waving not drowningI finished off the socks from the green & blue KoolAid-dyed yarn. The original intention, a cable pattern, just seemed too chunky and heavy, so I went with a scalloped-lace pattern that is supposed to evoke water.
Yarn: Unbranded 100% wool, dyed with KoolAid
Needles: 2

The lace, in case you're wondering, is a variation on the old Chevron Lace pattern. (Pattern is written for in-the-round, but will also work for knitting flat; start on RS at row 3.) Over 10 stitches:
Rows 1, 3: k1, yo, k2, ssk, k2tog, k2, yo, k1.
Row 2: Knit.
Row 4: Purl.
This means every fourth row will have a garter ridge that draws up into a nice wavy line with the decreases.

Ha, I've cleared my good Addis just in time for the June Six Socks pattern! :-)
