I'm finally finished with tech editing the two sock books. The second book was by a well known sock designer who has an absolutely fabulous way of writing her sock patterns to use charts.
I love tech editing. With most patterns, I need to visualize the stiches as if they are being knit, so it feels as if I actually went through the process of knitting the piece. It's a fabulous learning technique for me because all I need to do is read through (and visualize, of course) the pattern. The knitting part is totally skipped, and that 's the part that takes so long.
So, I absolutely LOVE when I come across a designer who has ingenius techniques and methods in their designs. I learn so much.
Of course, being so inspired another design has appeared. I'll post a better photo once it's aired (yes, I said aired). I don' want to ruin the surprise.
But take a look at that yarn! Isn't it beautiful? I think so. It's CEY's Alpaca Sox Kettle Dyes—I LOVE IT! It's still not available, but it should be in the next month or so
