The Real Thing - Soles

Sometime during the night while I was sleeping my mind decided I needed to put a single strand sole between the double strand soles for a bit more support.  Woke up with this on my mind but did finish the last double strand sole and pinned soles together getting ready to tie in place.  Then decided I needed to model the single strand and see how it looked and whether it made the sole too stiff.  Ok, so that was an all stop.

Think the reason this came up in my mind is my prototype yarn I had purchased several years ago and the spin is much tighter and stiffer than the yarn I just purchased.  I have noticed this is in most brands I have worked with,  Makes the yarn softer but projects are not as stiff.

Anyway,  after finishing the 4th double strand sole did a 3 round single strand piece to see what it would look like sandwiched between the others and what if any additional support and stiffness.  All okay, and using J hook with the single strand am getting the same measurement as the double strand which doesn't compute in my mind so put up for the day and will review in the morning besides may use the upper multi-color for the single strand sole.  

Hope everyone is having a good and safe weekend.

Crochet On!
