Ok, I’m trying not to be bitter with Lorna’s Laces because I’m reasonably sure it is not the yarn’s fault that every time I knit with it, the socks seem to be cursed. But….the evidence is mounting.

To recap, there were the Mermaids. Then, the Gentlemen’s Fancy Socks.
and now….the Rainbow Connection Muppet Socks are giving me a wee bit of trouble.
Pattern: Vanessa Antiopa by Hunter Hammersen
Yarn: Lorna’s Laces solemate
Colorway: Rainbow

Take 1 – size Large 2.25mm (got gauge, but I really don’t like the way the yarn is pooling)

Take 2 – size Medium 2.5mm needles


This striping pleases me, but I’ve just realized that I’m not doing the twisted decreases, but rather just plain ole knit two togethers. I’m totally going to end up ripping back to the ribbing……..Third time’s the charm. (she types optimistically while humming Rainbow Connection to herself)
