Pomatomus

Such an interesting back and forth lace pattern, that resembles fish scales, hence pomatomus.

The yarn feels about the same composition as Lorna's Laces Shephard Socks. The colours are extremely vibrant and rich. It just feels wonderful to work with. For once, I followed the pattern exactly, making no modifications as I went along. I did try this with 2.5 but the leg came out a bit tight so I ripped it. The twisted ribbing isn't as stretchy as untwisted ribbing.



Project Notes

1. Check out the scales





2. Check out the heel flap. I've never used a twisted rib for a heel flap.



Here's the artsy shot.
