Creative ExpressionUsing patterns as a jumping off point for your own creationsFor ideas of how to use patterns as a jumping off point for your own creative expression, look at what Carol Griffin of Florida did with the #A34 Swirling Lace Anklet to make her "Sunrise-Sunset" socks. She wrote – I liked the way it [the pattern stitch] was looking so much I couldn't stop doing it and reverse direction. Decided I would just go ahead with it and, of course, loved it!
Then she went on to do the second sock – I always like trying new and different ... so I did p2tog instead and I like that look, too. You may also notice that the second sock is slightly more textured as well as reversed.
The original Swirling Lace Socks pattern that inspired Carol. Return to Index of Jackie E-S Articles & Tips.
