The 2-ply 100% alpaca knits up at 7 st/inch on 2.75 needles. I'm going to use this for a modified (60 st instead of 80) version of the Gentleman' sock from "Knitting Vintage Socks" by Nancy Bush.
The Lorna's Laces sport weight knits up at 6.5 st/inch on 3.25 needles. I think I'm going to use this for a modified (60 st instead of 66) version of Kai Mei from "Sock Innovations" by Cookie A. I've already knit these so I'm still considering some other patterns.
The Madelinetosh knits up at 7 st/inch on 2.75 needles. I think I'm going to do something with cables with this but I haven't settled on a pattern yet.
I haven't knit swatches with the Louet Gems or Berroco Ultra Alpaca yet but I think I'm going to do something lacey with both of them.
I'm still undecided about what to use for the sixth pair; either the mystery grey or the Wildefoote. I'll swatch them first and then decide.
About Me
- Nearly Wrong
- I'm a left handed or sinister knitter. I learned to knit when I was a child and have no intention of changing now. Elizabeth Zimmerman may think I'm "nearly wrong" but it hasn't caused any problems so far.
