Bayerische sock-a-long?

[ibunnysavetroy]

i've already started mine in knitpicks' essential african violet:

however, this yarn gets all fuzzy and feels icky, so unless you already have it don't use it.
anyone else want to knit w/ me? i've already felt the first wave of holy crap this is going to take ages and then all i'll want to do is frame them. patt is here: http://www.eunnyjang.com/knit/2006/09/bayerische_sock_part_ii.html

I love, love, love this sock pattern. I'm going to check out my yarns. does it use fingering weight?

[ibunnysavetroy]

yes, fingering weight - w/ size zero needles- hence the need for encouragment....but still lovely...

I'm working on this, too!

Beware!  There are mistakes on page 2:

On the gussets and foot section: it should be "Work Row 2 of Chart C across next 9 sts." Not 19.    It's missing a K1tbl in between Charts C and D2. (see pics on page 2) Total of this section should be 50 sts.

(I am modifying this to work with http://knitty.com/issuesummer06/pattuniversalsock.html, so I'm starting from the toe)

[ibunnysavetroy]

yes i remember you knittinfiasco, you didn't know if you could. i posted in your post. i was going to do the same, but i decided the sock was hard enough as is.

[knittinfiasco]

ibunnysavetroy, you must be a mindreader.   I was quite frustrated by the mistakes on page 2, so I went looking for a knitalong, and here it was!

I really one to make these too. It'll have to wait a little though, I already have 3 pairs of socks on the needles.

i finished the heel! am i alone here or what?>
knittinfiasco, do you have a pics?

[knittinfiasco]

At ibunnysavetroy's request:


I've only just begun the pattern on the foot.  Not very far (kept going back & forth on what yarn to use, then I cast on the wrong number for the pattern to work... ).

Good thing Charts A, B, & C are repeated exactly twice per 1x of Chart D or I'd keep losing my place on A & C!

[ibunnysavetroy]

are you using zeros? i like the light color of the yarn, it'll look great w/ the full of effect of all those twisted sts. whne i get a little farhter on my foot part i'll post another pic. its taking AGES!!!!
