Finished Absinthe

Posted on April 23, 2009

I’ve finally gotten around to taking a photo of my finished Absinthe socks.

I knit them in the smaller size (56 stitches), but did add some stitches along the way.  On the foot, I only moved 2 stitches total from N2 to N1, giving me 30 on N1 and 26 on N2.  When I was in the foot chart, I increased one stitch in each of the two center cables on row 5.  To me, it created a smoother increase in the foot.  I knit the rest of the foot with 32 (N1) and 26 (N2) stitches.  I reduced two stitches in the sole before starting the heel so that I returned to 56 total.  As I progressed up the leg, I increased every once and a while (based upon fit), and the cuff was worked on 60 stitches.

Most of the errors were updated at Knitty last time I checked, so knitting them should be a little easier now.
