Some Upstream Socks, and an Introduction

Hi! I'm new here - in real life I'm Denise, on Ravelry I'm deknits. I am just loving the "New Pathways..." book. I have made 4 pairs of baby socks from the learning patterns, for a friend who is having twins. My latest project is a pair of the Upstream architecture socks, in Sophie's Toes Sock Yarn in the "American Patchwork" colorway (kindly ignore the hairy legs of Fall):


This is the best-fitting sock I have ever made! I am so excited to finish the other one and be able to wear them. :)

Cedar Angels

Here's a pair of Cedar architecture socks – they're Sockapalooza angel socks for D which jumped in the mail today. D prefers bright anklets.



The yarn is Socks That Rock Mediumweight in the Fire on the Mountain colorway, a balanced rainbow of tertiary brights. I love how the subtle repeat flashes briefly at the ankle expansion, then settles down again. I think these may be the handsomest socks I've ever made. I bow to Cat Bordhi!

Spiraling Coriolis

Did a pair of Spiraling Coriolis. They went to SOAR in my place. Told my spinning teacher that she was not going to SOAR with nothing but store bought socks. They fit nicely, although the second sock does not have the same stretch due to the reverse spiral. If she can teach me to spin, I can teach her socks.

Little Sky

How easy and cute are the Little Sky socks! I used Encore worsted and size 6 circulars. I love the increase instep.

Coriolis Socks

Here are my Coriolis socks:
(there are more pictures on my blog)


I used two strands of Trekking XXL, color 100, and got 7 stitches per inch using two 3.0 mm 24″ circular needles. I have been a die-hard dpn user for years, but decided try two circs again and I am very pleased with my results. I think I have been converted, LOL!!!

I just got some of the Harmony fixed circulars in 2.25 mm and 2.75 mm and am looking forward to casting on another pair of socks. I've got five pair going right now, so I have to finish at least one of those pairs before I start another pair, :-( Two of those pairs are from the New Pathways book, so I will still be having a LOT of fun!!!

Rockin' Spiraling Coriolis

Hey stixters!

I'm from PA and am just beginning to work through the book! I've done the little skye sock and jumped into a spiraling coriolis using Socks that Rock lightweight. Have one done, as you can see. I found the master numbers to yield a sock that is a lttle loose. Did anyone else find that?

Greetings from Indiana

I've just joined this group and wanted to say hi to everyone.
I got New Pathways for Sock Knitters last week and I felt a bit overwhelmed. I'm not terribly good at visualizing the process of a pattern from directional text and diagrams, even when accompanied by great pictures. And there is so much of all that in this book!
I very nearly put it away on the shelf and re-dedicated myself to whittling down my massive stash of Opal with my comfort sock knitting: plain stockinette/solid heel and toe.
But that glorious Coriolus sock kept calling to me so I thought that, even though I didn't truly understand La-Rink and La-Link, maybe I should just follow the directions and trust Cat Bordhi.
After all, I did numerous pairs of socks with absolutely no grasp of just how the turning of a simple heel worked. I just followed the directions and the magic happened.

So I made the Little Sky Sock (in Dream in Color with size 3 dpn).

And the mysteries began to unfold. And my excitement mounted and I thought, Yes! I can do this!

But I wanted company. So here I am.
I'm looking forward to sharing and learning with you all!
