Picot

August14

Dear Ida,

I like experimenting with various heels and toes. In sock knitting cuffs often get overlooked. Most socks are knit with some sort of ribbing at the cuff. This is practical, as ribbing helps keep the sock from falling down. However, it can also be boring!

One of my favorite cuffs is the picot. It’s simple to do and I find that the double layer of fabric hugs my leg enough to keep my sock up. Plus, it’s super cute!

Here it is as a preview to the next CSI pattern!

What is your favorite type of cuff treatment?

Love,

Heather

Heather and Sarah welcome you to Crafty Detour. What is Crafty Detour?

It’s kind of like a podcast, but without audio. A place where Sairy Knits and Digitalnabi come together to provide a two part perspective where other blogs usually only provide one. It’s truly a detour from our usual blogging which we will continue to do on our own sites. CraftyDetour is a joint venture that will enable collaborative projects in the future.

Heather is the creative director for The Alpaca Yarn Company. She also designs knitwear, teaches, and blogs here: digitalnabi.com. She’s web programmer by day, a designer by night and a knitter always.

Sarah is a researcher/analyst for a stock indexing company – a job that keeps her on her toes! She has been knitting since starting graduate school for Applied Statistics in 2005. Sarah knits, spins, and dyes yarn and roving for her etsy shop: Stitches ‘n Rows. Her personal blog is Sairy Knits where she tries to blog about finished objects, test knitting, her fat cat Haley, food, and whatever else is on her mind when she can remember.
