First off, all of my knitting has been dubbed a sweater or a sock. In fact, this means that even socks can be called foot sweaters, and I guess sweaters can be called a body(?) sock.
I started off making the Sweetheart sock pattern from the Holiday 2007 Interweave Knits. I really liked the "sweetheart" cable. I used my noro kuryon sock. After several inches I realized that I thought the back cabling was just too much, I wanted to focus on the cabling I loved and not bother with the other stuff. I also realized that I wanted to make them into arm warmers. I love the look of this yarn, yes it is not soft, but it isn't awful, so I wanted to put them on my arms so I could see them all the time! That and I realized that my feet cannot handle some socks, yes it is sad I love socks and I don't have beautiful ankles.
If you can see it this is what the back cabling looked like on the original pattern, in my modified design I altered the cables and did some different kinds of ribbing. I also started with 70 sts instead of 84. They are tight I probably could have added some sts back. Maybe 74? More when I finish.
