Trial by colorwork

Okay, as I've been saying I have been wanting to work on some colorwork. I had my mind set on socks, I even had which ones picked out. But honestly didn't feel like adjusting someone's pattern to fit my feet. Colorwork sock do not often have a range of sizes, much less sizes that are large enough for me.

I've also been saying that I wanted to do something Fall themed. So I've decided I'll just design my own socks. It's only a little more work that rewriting a different pattern. So here is one of my trials so far:






Love the falling leaves! However, I think they are a little too close together. After knitting it up, it just needs more space to look like they are actually falling through the darkness. I think this was a good idea to start this, because it's definitely got my mind going again about crafts. I think this week may have been enough of a lull. Although I will be taking more care not to irritate my shoulder again.

So that was my second attempt, forgot to take a picture of the first one. I have started knitting the cuff for my third attempt and have already recharted the leaves. I am becoming quite good with the stranding of the colors. ☺
