She has some other Lornea's and said that hers turned out my stripped. So Sue from The Knitting Corner suggested a Fiber Trends pattern I didn't have. As soon as I get done with the Clapotis I am seriously thinking about tinking back one sock and trying that pattern. I really loved the yarn when I bought it and I want to keep loving it. So I want to try one more pattern before giving it up to stockinette.vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21832089.post-23478754064610742482008-06-11T23:44:00.000-07:002008-06-11T23:44:00.000-07:00yes, I have to agree with you on the color breakin...yes, I have to agree with you on the color breaking. I suspect that that colorway isn't what Lorna herself designed, she was always so careful of her colorways. While you might want to use a slip stitch pattern, I myself would use a contrasting color and work a small striping pattern, one row or two of a solid, then one or two rows of the LL in that colorway. Good luck with your choice.Bobbisoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551678947405822982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21832089.post-53453469744058063432008-06-04T16:58:00.000-07:002008-06-04T16:58:00.000-07:00The color breaks just seem so odd to me.

I guess that I just had something else in my mind's eye.vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21832089.post-86405899588926823732008-06-04T13:22:00.000-07:002008-06-04T13:22:00.000-07:00I like the stockinette sock best.

Or really, just any slip-stitch pattern you find in your stitch dictionary. The only thing is, the more stitches you slip per row, the more the sock will tighten up. I've had to add a few stitches to compensate for the slipped stitches.<BR/>I like those colors and the stripes.Susan Lunihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17799333297406389634noreply@blogger.com
