celticdragonflyThe corded rib quartercrew socks are done, pics up on Ravelry, and on my feet. Ta da! I haven't tried them on with the new MBT shoes yet, I shall do that later. I do have enough of the yarn for another pair of socks, albeit again fairly short-cuffed ones. I haven't thought of what stitch pattern I want to use yet.
The other socks I'm thinking about are the Lucy socks here:

I have a skein of the Lucy colorway of that yarn, so I do want to do pawprint socks with it. I'll be knitting them top down, and I need a 72-stitch cast on, not 68/64.
So, looking at the chart on that page, she's got the lace charted in a 17-stitch panel. I need an 18 stitch panel, so add one stitch, no problem. But also, I like to have some ribbing in my socks, to keep them snuggly.
So once it's 18-stitch panels, there will be 5 stitches between each pair of pawprints. The stitch immediately on each side of the lace should be a knit stitch, leaving 3.
My wonder is this - do I do better to just make that a p3, or would they fit better if I made it a P1K1P1? Suggestions from other knitters?
Either way, I'm going to end up starting each needle with a purl stitch, which annoys me, but so it goes.
