Mosaic 9: Crescents

This is another pattern where I made a zig-zag version of the pattern and never knitted it. The colors (colorful is Brew City Yarns’ Premium Draft Sock, Once More With Feeling, and the black is Knitpicks sparkly stroll) I used for this pattern didn’t have as much contrast, so the pattern didn’t stand out as well. I was disappointed, apparently to the extent that I never took a picture of the finished socks.

I wanted to finish this skein, now that I’d started it, and since the mosaic knitting didn’t work really well with it, I decided to try something different, that I’d been wanting to try for forever. I call them my ‘big bird’ socks, because they remind me of Big Bird’s legs. They stretch a lot, and I really like the texture. They were a lot of fun to knit, and a nice rest from all this mosaic knitting. I think the colors worked much better together for these socks than the actual mosaic ones.
