The first Tuxie Love sock is finished!
I chose to duplicate stitch the paw print on the bottom of the toe.

I had to get my magnifier lamp out-these are tiny stitches!
I added a center reference point so I could keep my eyes focused on the right rows!

After three false starts, it came back to me
and the rhythm of the stitches fell into place!
I almost despaired, let me tell you!

I am not thrilled with the look of the inside
and will do better on the second sock.
I did test wear it and you don't feel any bumps at least!

It is a very cute touch to the sock
and I think I will make it the same way on the next sock
but on the NEXT pair, I will try Intarsia knitting to get the job done!

Fantastic! I love the paw print: it's cute and just plain fun.
ReplyDeleteSO CUTE!
ReplyDeleteIS this Val's pattern? It is awesome. 4 paws up!
ReplyDeleteThat's really cute!
ReplyDeleteLove this. Can't wait to make some myself! The paw print is just so perfect!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!! I just had a terrible experience trying to embroider on knit material. I can't see well enough to keep my place anymore even with the magnifier on super chunky yarn. I think it's my brain and not my eyes.
ReplyDeleteYour duplicate stitch is sooooo much better than mine. You should have seen what mine looked like.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was designing, I was really worried about how it would feel on the toes, but like you I was pleasantly surprised!
My Felix socks! They are awesome!!! ❤️
