Test knit for Xiaowei, I’ll be looking at both the English and French patterns.

I showed the sample to a friend of mine who immediately remarked that it looked like chain mail, so it didn’t take much convincing for me to go for the grey. I didn’t realize that Tosh Sock was so skimpy on the yardage compared to Malabrigo, though, so I hope I have enough…

Third (well, fourth) time’s the charm! Finally managed to not twist my cast-on, so I’m set out on my test knit. Going to do the ribbing from one skein, the background of the mosaic pattern from the other, and then start alternating skeins for the stockinette body. Hope this works out, I just couldn’t deal with alternating from the get-go.

Cast on using long-tail and knit one row flat before joining in the round to help ameliorate twisting issues.
