November 13th, 2007 by Cecilie | Filed under Knitting, WIP.
As I talked about a couple of days ago I’m knitting Fetchings on the train, they have replaced the socks I’m usually making, I still feel a bit socked-out after this summer.
A few notes on the pair I’m making.
- 3.5mm needles,
- Bamboo by Idéna.
- I’m twisting the cables in the same direction on both, since I’m lazy like that.
- On the finished one I messed up the distance between two cable rows, oops.
- Lengthened the part after the tumb to 8 rows instead of 4 before cable twist
- The yarn is splitty, and has a gazillion plies.
I love them, even though they’re not going to be the warmest fetchings ever (in that respect, bamboo is a bad choice).

Those look awesome.
I haven’t knit with bamboo yet. My friend in Germany sent me some. I want to make socks. I’m scared of socks.
Ooh, those are pretty! I have about 95% of ONE fingerless glove made — I was going to try to get it(and its mate) done before it got cold again here… but that didn’t so much happen.
marie: try the widdershins pattern on knitty, pretty easy first sock pattern (I’ve infected other people with sock knitting by that pattern a couple of times now).
Socks arn’t hard, just a little challenge the first time, and what’s make them extra fun in my opinion.
