When the Nightowl Socks were published in Knotions Magazine<\/a> a few years ago, we chose a unicolored blue yarn for the sample, which looks really gorgeous. But when making new samples for the updated pattern in my stores, I wanted to try something different. I\u2018ve always been obsessed with the self-striping yarns from Caitlin at String Theory Colorworks<\/a>. The colors are amazing, the stripes are so clean and the scientific background of the colorway names really speaks to my nerdy side. It seems like another life now, but before moving to Switzerland I studied Chemistry at university.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Als meine Nightowl Socken vor einigen Jahren im Knotions Magazine<\/a> erschienen sind, haben wir ein einfarbig blaues Garn f\u00fcr das Muster ausgew\u00e4hlt, das wirklich toll aussieht. Aber als ich neue Mustersocken f\u00fcr die \u00fcberarbeitete Fassung in meinen Shops gestrickt habe, wollte ich etwas anderes ausprobieren. Ich liebe schon ewig die Streifengarne von Caitlin von String Theory Colorworks. Die Farben sind wundersch\u00f6n, die Streifen sind so klar abgegrenzt und der wissenschaftliche Hintergrund der Farbnamen gef\u00e4llt der nerdigen Seite von mir besonders gut. Es f\u00fchlt sich inzwischen an, als w\u00e4re es in einem anderen Leben gewesen, aber bevor ich in die Schweiz gezogen bin, habe ich Chemie studiert. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first pair I grabbed a colorway called ALICE and I was hooked \u2764\ufe0f The stripes and the stitch pattern just work perfectly together, don\u2018t they?

F\u00fcr das erste Paar habe ich eine Farbe namens ALICE gew\u00e4hlt, und ich war begeistert \u2764\ufe0f Die Streifen und das Muster passen perfekt zusammen, oder?<\/em>

I made three more pairs to try out all the options included in the pattern (toe up, cuff down, heart-shaped heel turn with heel flap and gusset, short-row heel, star toe and basic rounded toe – I\u2018ll talk about all these possibilities on another day) and they all turned out gorgeous – if I do say so myself.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ich habe drei weitere Paare gestrickt, um alle Variationen auszuprobieren, die in der Anleitung enthalten sind (Toe Up, Cuff down, Herzchenferse mit Fersenwand und Zwickel, Bumerangferse, Sternchenspitze und Abgerundete Grundspitze – \u00fcber all die M\u00f6glichkeiten sprechen wir ein anderes Mal) und sie sind alle toll geworden – wenn ich das selbst so sagen darf. <\/em>

This pair has been made in Void with a matching Heel\/toe skein in Radical. We do not celebrate Halloween in Switzerland, but if we did, I\u2018d wear these socks this year!

Dieses Paar ist aus Void mit einem Fersen\/Spitzen-Kn\u00e4uel in Radical. Wir feiern in der Schweiz kein Halloween, aber wenn, w\u00fcrde ich dieses Jahr diese Socken anziehen! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spectral Lines has all the colors I adore, so I needed two pairs from it – one of the few benefits of having tiny feet \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if I were you, I\u2018d hop over to Caitlins shop and fill my stash with her gorgeous yarns.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spectral Lines hat alle Farben, die ich liebe, deshalb habe ich zwei Paar daraus gemacht – einer der wenigen Vorteile von winzigen F\u00fcssen \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wenn ich Du w\u00e4re, w\u00fcrde ich also Caitlins Shop besuchen und einen Vorrat ihrer wundersch\u00f6nen Garne anlegen.<\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to sub a different yarn, any 4-ply sock yarn will work, especially if it\u2018s uni-colored, heathered or self-striping. As the pattern is made from big holes and gathered strands, you could even try a variegated yarn and see if you like the look. What yarn are you going to use? Have you decided on a color yet? Let me know in the comments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wenn Du lieber ein anderes Garn benutzen m\u00f6chtest, kannst Du jedes Garn in Sockenwollst\u00e4rke nehmen, besonders einfarbiges, meliertes oder Streifengarn. Da das Muster aus grossen L\u00f6chern und zusammengefassten F\u00e4den besteht, k\u00f6nntest Du auch ein buntes Garn nehmen und schauen, ob es Dir gef\u00e4llt. Welches Garn wirst Du f\u00fcr Deine Socken nehmen? Hast Du Dich schon f\u00fcr eine Farbe entschieden? Schreib es mir in die Kommentare!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
