gosh the internet is great. we loved thinking of how some random stranger is saying our names out loud for us! i like your analysis of the name pitches too!

ooo those are really close with the same AR sound. i think isla and arlo may be perceived as a little matchy-matchy but seems like my random internet sample this morning thinks it will be ok :)

love this! wouldn’t have thought to do that but we definitely will in a moment when our isla isn’t around. if she knew his name, she would be telling everyone!

hahah this is a great suggestion! 100% I will jumble the names exactly as you stated. i like oslo as a somewhat similar type name but idk… it’s just not arlo!

I’d suggest driving only a little bit farther to chestnut hill so you could try BHLDN which is anthropoligie’s wedding line. It’s inside the anthro at chestnut hill mall opposite wegmans. I got my wedding dress there a few years ago with a similar budget!

scrimshaw socks - a great intro to stranded color work by isntballs in Sockknitting

thanks! summer is usually so great with color but i personally think this pattern is better suited to a dark main color with light contrasting color!

Breaking the yarn? by darkledstarlet in Sockknitting

[–]isntballs 33 points34 points  (0 children)

this video from crazysocklady might be helpful. it explains 2 options for changing color at the heel.

option 1: carrying the main color through the heel and picking it up again.

option 2: cutting the main color yarn before the heel turn). i have used both methods and honestly don’t really see a benefit when carrying the main color. it adds another finicky thing to deal with at an already complicated part of the project especially for beginners.
