Mitre-Might-Not Socks (2019)

Yarn: Fleece Artist Canada National Park’s Sock — Banff
Pattern: Toe-up, Cat Bordhi riverbed arch expansion and Wendy Knits toe-up sock; my own patterning for the ankle
Completed: November 24, 2019.
Pretty standard toe-up socks, for me. As I knit the foot, I realized that the vibrant blue was getting a little lost in thin stripes, as there was relatively little of it compared to the black. For the ankle, I wanted some patterning that would feature shorter rows, allowing the non-black colour transitions to pool a bit. I opted to do some mitred squares, held together with basic triangles and diamonds — so the colour pooling goes at odd angles!

Sock pair -- note the striping int eh foot, and better concentration of colours in the ankle patterning
Ankles -- mitred squares and shaped triangles and diamonds
Cast on!
The yarn, in the skein -- Fleece Artist Canada National Park’s Sock — Banff colourway
The skein unfolded -- you can see that each circuit of the skein has mostly black, and just. brief bit of the vibrant blue. To get that to pool, I needed really short rows.
