I am done with sock #1 and ya know what? I don't like it.
damn.
I didn't like knitting it, I hate the way she did the heel, it has no elasticity (I don't think entrelac is a very good choice for a knee-high sock really)
it's cute, yeah, but my time and yarn could go to better uses. blah. I hate being disappointed, but I'm not doing the second sock.
son of a bitch

I agree that the sock has no elasticity at all either. I agree that the heel sucks too.
I do have to say that your sock looks freakin' beautiful though. Is it super hard to get on and off? Cause I think you picked beautiful colors and if it's not a pain in the ass to get it on and off, that another one of those would look really nice on you.
I talked to the women who owns my lys, and she was saying that she's cautious with the eunny patterns because she's noticed that they tend to run super small (gee...you think?), though they are real purdy.
I modified my ASS off to make it fit my short but narrow feet and short but chunky calves. I changed most everything but the heel and looking at your fixation pair am thinking that might not be too bad but I wouldn't do a short row heel
my lys peeps agree: entrelac+socks=what were you thinking eunny?
these things actually hurt going on and off
I even had a friend with smaller feet try and it was hard for her too
how is the cascade warmth wise? I hate having warm feet but I love the stripe/not stripe you have going on
If you don't do a short row heel, will you just leave the holes in it?
Well, the Cascade is really soft once it's knit up. It doesn't feel too warm right now, though I haven't fully finished the sock and worn it around. It's cotton, so I don't think it should be too bad.
Knitting this stuff on 2's made for a challenging cast on, but as long as I leave a lot of slack while I'm knitting, it's fine.
I really like the stripe too. Most of the other colors have 3 different striping color in them, and this green kind of has a darker green to it that doesn't really show up, so I don't know what the 3 colors would look like. Might be cool.
If you used the cascade, you might wanna make the foot only 4 CC tiers or so, cause it stretches a lot. It holds onto my foot really well too. I will try and finish in the next couple days so I can take a nice pic for you.
Yeah...I've never done entrelac before, but it looks a helluva lot stretchier than it really is! I don't think it's an ideal sock idea, but hey, we live in a day and age when we have elastic, so I guess we can make it work if we really want to.
