Big Rainbow

Hmmmm, either one foot is lots bigger than the other or something is wrong...
Blocked, measured sock tension. 32sts*36rows/10cm Pattern says: 30sts*42rows/10cm Ok, i see where i've gone wrong with the row guage but what's going on with the st guage, The socks are too wide as well. GRRRRARRGGHHH. Oh yeah, and how the hell do i knit square stocking stitches?
Oh well, the knitting got me through the trip to Katherine, almost i'll be back in Melbourne on Monday. Well, 5am Sunday morning actually but as if i'll be awake on Sunday after that. It takes about 18hrs to get from Katherine to Melbourne (orvice versa) Even with aeroplanes.

Square Deal Weave Along

Welcome to my first weave-it loom photos:
Here are my first 4 plain weave squares.
Sorry for the crappy focus! The yarns are: Pink, Cleckheaton country silk; Green, Patons Jet; blue/green/yellow, Some of the extra sock yarn that came with my first socks of doom, it felts so i'm guessing its wool.

And my very first 'loom bloom' courtesy Spin-off Winter 2005 (Jana's article)

Next i try the patterns!
