This week it’s a quirky sock toe gone right, slow progress on the wool-linen machine sweater’s collar and sleeves, and a detour into Luddite history care of “Blood in the Machine”. Plus: a rainy Worldwide Knit in Public Day here in Helsinki, made up for by one good afternoon of café knitting by the sea.
FO: That 70s Toe
Isn’t it strange when swatching a technique turns into a project? When I was writing about Shortrow Toes last month, I started playing around with different methods of creating the wedge toe shape. If you draw a schematic, you will see that it is two trapezoids stacked on top of each other, forming a standard hourglass shape. I immediately saw it could be broken down into 6 equilateral triangles.
