Reversible?
What do you think, is it reversible? This is the inside. Previous post shows the outside. I suspect it's suspiciously close to reversible (most brioche is)!
And some mitts to match
Look, I just can't help it. If there's yarn leftover, I want to have matching mitts. Which really, this is not a great hardship. You could even say it's rather nifty. Because winter will come again (I say, as I look out on the bright summer skies and parched summer grass) and when it does, I will want to have as many ways to stave off the darkness as possible. And really cute knits can sometimes help with that.
Worth it
There we go, all fixed, and totally worth the time to go ahead and do it right. Usual spiel applies. It will be a pattern (testers are already done with it, all I need to do is make myself go outside in the heat to take photos), almost certainly out later this month. Do the mailing list thing below if you want to hear when it drops. And there's oodles of yarn left, so there will be mitts to match!

Summer School, Review Session
So we spent this month talking a whole bunch about socks (which fine, I realize is odd, but hopefully at best helpful and at worst harmless). And we put a whole bunch of them on sale over the course of the month. But, on the off chance you missed class one day (or the socks you most wanted to make weren't on the syllabus), I think we should end summer school with a review session. Use the code SUMMER on ravelry to take 15% off any of my available sock or slipper patterns from now through the end of the [...]
Summer School, Party Tricks, Diluvian
On Monday we talked a bit about socks with ridiculous party tricks, and for the rest of the week I’ll be showing off some of my personal favorites. These are Diluvian, they are reversible, and they’re 25% off on ravelry with the code SUMMER SCHOOL through the end of the day, eastern time, Thursday July 30. Now, I know all socks are technically reversible in the sense of there not being much in the way of dire consequences if you put them on inside out. But these look equally lovely either way, so you won't run the risk of looking [...]
Summer School, Party Tricks, Indomitable
On Monday we talked a bit about socks with ridiculous party tricks, and for the rest of the week I'll be showing off some of my personal favorites. These are Indomitable, they are proof that cuffed socks are just delightful, and they're 25% off on ravelry with the code SUMMER SCHOOL through the end of the day, eastern time, Wednesday July 29. So cuffing your socks shouldn't be amusing. It really shouldn't. And yet somehow it is. Especially these, where the sock is reversible so you can wear them inside out and cuffed or right side out and uncuffed and [...]
Summer School, Party Tricks, Cleave
On Monday we talked a bit about socks with ridiculous party tricks, and for the rest of the week I'll be showing off some of my personal favorites. These are Cleave, they are about as close as I come to messing with the fundamental structure of socks, and they're 25% off on ravelry with the code SUMMER SCHOOL through the end of the day, eastern time, Tuesday July 28. Look, I told you I'm a sock traditionalist. I don't normally stray far from that path. But this has just a tiny little tweak (instead of working a heel flap and [...]
Summer School, party tricks
Now look, I am a fan of fairly sedate socks. Well no, that's not quite right. I'm all about flashy stitch patterns and lovely lines and the occasional bit of arch shaping or gusset shenanigans. But in my heart of heart, my favorite socks are top down (because that means you can try them on after an inch and know for sure if they'll fit over your heel), with a heel flap (we talked about my love of adjustable heel flaps the other week), and a fairly mellow foot. But, there's something about socks that brings out the mad scientist [...]
That quiet grumbling you hear is me
Ahem...so far so good. Clipping happily along. Until... Damn. That tiny white line is a slip I didn't grab quite right a few rows back. And since this is reversible, I can't really just leave it (even though it doesn't show on the other side). And while you can drop stitches back in brioche and fix them, it always feels just a teeny tiny bit daunting. The sort of thing you want to do with good light and while fully awake. It'll be fine after blocking. And it's worth it to actually fix it. But I will grumble while I [...]
