Absinthe anyone?

Posted on March 26, 2009

About two weeks ago, I wanted to go to knit night, but had nothing to knit.  How lucky I was that the Spring Knitty came out that day.  After taking a look through, I decided to cast on for the Absinthe sock pattern. 

I knew that I had the perfect color yarn for the pattern.  It’s a Rare Gems colorway in Socks that Rock Mediumweight.  I’ve been working through the pattern, and there are a few errors.  The designer has been responsive on Ravelry, and has posted some corrections.  For anyone looking, the thread with corrections is in the Ravelry Knitty Socks group.  The corrected lace chart is also available.

I’m already finished the first sock, and am up to the start of the heel on the second sock.  I really hope to finish these this month.  

These have been impossible to photograph, so those will have to come later.
