This project is yet another reminder that I need work on my lace skills. I look at some of the pomatomus photos on Ravelry and they're much lacier and airier than mine, with clear curves of yarn-overs around the edges of the scales. I ran into this same problem a couple of years back when I was doing the vine lace section of the Mason-Dixon linen nightie. My natural tendency is to knit tightly, and too often that means that my yarn overs disappear. On Pomatomus this won't be a huge problem. The socks will still look great even if the lace aspect isn't as evident, but I really need to do some small lace work projects as practice.
I've let another month slip by without ordering my worsted weight Knit Picks shine for the Molly Weasely sweater bodice. I will get that order in at the beginning of March. And as a heads up for anyone else making, or planning to make, the MW technicolor housecoat: Order that shine sport now! Knit Picks new catalog shows that several of the colors are being discontinued!
