I recently signed up for the Tour de Sock competition for the first time. I've admired the patterns from afar, and have always looked forward to the year that my PayPal balance would cover the $7.50 sign-up fee, and this was the year!
I've signed up for a relaxed team, as I want to ease into it. We begin on June 1st, and I'm rearing to go!
To keep myself occupied in the meantime, I am working on a sock for the May challenge over at the Sock Knitters Anonymous group over on Ravelry. I chose to cast on Paradiesvogel for the Fandom theme, and am using up leftovers from my stash.
I love the idea of the slipped and twisted stitches wandering around over the striped background, but I'm not too thrilled with how some stitches are pulled or wonky (look at the centre panel). Hopefully this will sort itself out when I block these.
