It feels like it was yesterday that I was here posting about starting the leg section and already I've knitted 20 rows, or 2 repeats of the pattern.
The twisted stitches really make the design pop and knitting the knit stitches through the back loop makes them stand apart from the purl stitches even better. I've made a few mistakes but nothing major -- the two small cables have their first crossing left over right, and all the other ones right over left.
It's hard to keep the blue the same colour in post-processing my pictures....
Next steps.
I'll be working on the leg for a little while longer. The pattern states 5 or 6 repeats of the pattern, which means in the worst case that I'm ⅓rd of the way down.
It's still fun though, and as always: establishing the pattern is the hardest part. The stitches get easier with practice, and you learn to anticipate the next move by looking at what you've already knitted and seeing which way the cables are looping.
