I'm working on my next sock, Waving Lace Socks by Evelyn Clark. These are from the same pattern as the socks on the cover of Interweave's Favorite Socks
. I like the design but I find that mine are not turning out quite like the pink socks in the book. For the lace pattern the eyelets in one direction are made with a yarn over after a purl and before a knit. The eyelets slanting in the other direction are made with a yarn over after a knit and before a purl. I find that the latter eyelets are larger than the others because I have to wrap the yarn all the way around the needle before the next stitch. I know it is not a big deal but the socks on the cover of the book have that nice zig zag line of eyelets that I am just not achieving here. I do like the wavy ridge design when they are not stretched.
I have to remind myself that they are just socks. As my grandmother would say, "No one will notice from a galloping horse..."Does anyone else have this problem with eyelets?
