something in the air
yarn: blue moon fibers sock candy in kiwi
pattern: dragon skin from barbara walker
needles: 2.5mm addis
date started: 5.16.06
date finished: 7.26.06
remember when I used to finish stuff? maybe this is a glimmer of hope those days will be back...or not.
to combat 'sss' and to get a sock that would fit the way I wanted and not look like crap, I knit the second sock differently than the first. the first sock (the bottom one in the top pic) was a 52 st sock knit toe up and then expanded to 60 st after the short row heel. the second one is cuff down with 60 st (better executed) throughout. I've gotten a few emails on what the sock pattern is, so I charted my version (only even rows are given) here, just remember that every odd row is knit and this is for the 60 st sock. the chart key is here. I really liked this stitch pattern and I think it works well in both directions. apparently I'm not the only one that likes it, I found this shawl inspired by it and, through flickr, another set of socks that uses a version of it as well (buy it! support a blogger!), and joelene's str 52 st version. I guess this means dragon skin is hott.
ps I found this cool chart creator
pps. kids another dragon sock!! pattern!
ETA I noticed that the chart is printed readin from left to right, instead of the usual right to left.

Very, very beautiful socks, Yahaira!

Hey Yahaira,
Those socks are HOT like Cosi. The color is like crack to me, and I love the stitch pattern. You really stick it to the man by switching up the way you knit the two socks. P.S. What are you doing next weekend? As in not the one coming up, but the following one. I can Fung Wah over to your neighborhood if you have some time to hang out! P.P.S. I love the chart maker- I was just thinking last night that I needed something like that for designing cable stitch patterns. Thanks for the link.

You finished a pair of wooly socks in that sticky East Coast heat? Nice!

Looks great!
Posted by: Tara | July 26, 2006 06:58 PM
Love them! The pattern and the colorway came together beautifully!
Posted by: amanda | July 26, 2006 07:17 PM
The dragon scales look so good with the yarn you chose. And I'm just so impressed that you did them both ways, up and down!
Posted by: erin | July 26, 2006 09:31 PM
Those socks look beautiful. The yarn complements the pattern perfectly. They look comfy too!
Posted by: Chrissy | July 26, 2006 09:36 PM
Is it just me? I found the colours of the two socks a bit different! But the socks are lovely. I'd like to try sock candy ... but just don't know where on earth I can find it!
Posted by: a | July 26, 2006 10:44 PM
I have GOT to get me some of that sock candy! Nice work with the experimentation to prevent SSS - anything it takes!
Posted by: Sue M | July 27, 2006 01:30 AM
Those are definitely some tasty socks. Yummy tasty yummy :) Dragon Scale socks rock, especially in that colour.
Posted by: Bryony | July 27, 2006 01:43 AM
Those colors!!!! the pattern looks great both ways - I bookmarked it a while back while thumming through her stitch books.
Posted by: Stacey | July 27, 2006 09:00 AM
Super great colours, and awesome link to chart creator... you're on a roll!
Posted by: Liz | July 27, 2006 10:58 AM

I like the pattern both ways. Adding it to my long list of socks I want to knit. Great yarn color btw.
Posted by: brooke | July 27, 2006 12:31 PM
They are so pretty, Yahaira! I really like the way the cuff worked out. Great to see you still have some time to knit! You are a busy girl ;)
Posted by: Lolly | July 27, 2006 01:19 PM

i'm secretly trying to turn myself into a sock knitter, but not quite ready to start posting my failures yet.
