Pretty bird design, the colors are working out, everything is reasonably even and likely to get more even with blocking. So I decide to try on the sock.
Yeah. That sock is not going over my heel, ever.
Moral of the story: yes, stranded colorwork is in fact less stretchy than regular knitting. Rrrrrip!

My colorwork is hideously tight as well. However, I discovered that it's *slightly* easier to keep the floats loos(er) when you work it inside out.
What a bummer! It was looking so pretty!
Oh hope you didn't rip! what lovely finger less gloves, you've started--(color work for sock? for smelly feet? where the details can't be seen) NO color work for hats and hands and showing off
Its beautiful.. please say you didn't rip it!
What's the pattern? It's gorgeous
Awww...so sad! It was otherwise lovely though!
it's a beautiful pattern... can you alter them into wrist warmers?
Very pretty work, though. And a helpful heads-up to those of us thinking about the same leap.
Meanwhile, welcome to the three socks knit club. Sometimes I really do think I've worked most of that spare by the time I am done....

It was pretty while it lasted. I think colorwork is odious. It gives me a tension headache (Ba dump bum), so I don't do it.
