Today I was able to get the first pattern repeat finished on these socks. The pattern repeats are fairly easy to follow, but I can't memorize the pattern for these socks like I usually can on other socks. I find that I have to place a piece of paper over the pattern and move it up as I finish each row. This way I don't make a mistake and either repeat the last row knitted or skip a row. Then if I put my knitting down for any length of time I have to write down the row I'm working on. I do place markers at the end of the 24 row pattern repeat. This helps a lot so as to know were the repeat ends and the new repeat begins.
I am finding though that I still like this pattern dispite all these time consuming problems. I find that once I get into the groove I do move really fast with the pattern. I can't wait to see the whole sock finished though. Hopefully next time I post I'll have this first sock finished and the second one started. The picture here makes the yarn look more blue when the yarn has a purple/blue color to it. Oh well, maybe I need to work on my picture taking a little more. LOL
