Toot

Why not, maybe I'll just put the poll here too :) I'm planning my second hybrid sock-knitting project, where I'll make the colourwork legs on the machine and then enjoy the mindless mile of stockinette down the heels and feet (okay, it's really only about 1/8 mile). I've done this once before and really liked the result:

I found the diamonds pattern on a picture of a sock somewhere and charted it up, then started playing with the pixels and came up with several variations. And while I do have a favourite, I like them all and am curious to see which YOU like best!

For some reason Mastodon doesn't allow both image attachments and polls on the same post, so I'll put the actual poll in a reply. 🤷

@Amgine For logistical machine-knitting reasons, it's not practical to have a single row of solid colour all the way across, and ideally there won't be more than five stitches of the same colour in a row... so there are some limitations :)

@Amgine Ah, gotcha. Well, I could probably come up with a dozen more variations on the theme... but then I'd never get any socks done :)

@emery Four very nice patterns! No 4 triggered an idea - „just“ need to draw it somehow …

@emery that is almost the least helpful poll result possible 😂
