So this is basically my first real attempt at knitting with two colors (okay, I did try once years ago, made a whole sock, but let’s just say… the result was “meh”). Now I’m wrestling with two strands and it feels like yarn gymnastics. I knit continental style with open hands because my fingers are ridiculously long, and that’s just how little-me learned, no chance I’m retraining these stubborn fingers now! But here’s the big question: how far can a float go without turning into a yarn tripwire? Is 7 stitches too much? Because that’s where I keep getting stuck. If I try to catch the yarn, it twists like it’s plotting against me. Any magical tips before I start negotiating with my yarn? 😅

Picked a color combo from my stash, hope I’ve got enough of the main shade! First rows went smoothly, now the real fun begins with two colors 😅 Good luck to everyone, can’t wait to see your progress too! 🧦🧦 Happy Socktober!

Hello, I’m happy to have joined this group. My very first sock (just one of the pair!) I knitted many years ago. I recently finished one pair of vanilla socks, and this project will be quite a challenge for me because of the colorwork, especially the heel. I chose to make Porto Memories. See you along the way as I work towards completing both socks! 🧦
