First of all, if you are a Notorious Sock Knitter and are avoiding spoilers, do not go any further. There are spoilers on this page!!
I have done a fair bit of knitting and no blogging lately. A few people have pointed out the fact that I need to update this place again. So, a nice sunny day presented itself and I took some pictures of what I have been doing other than blogging as of late.
I have acquired a lot of new yarn from Wollmeise, Socks That Rock sock club, Hazel Knits, and Yarn Dyenasty. Gorgeous colors of all kinds have come to my house to live.
So without further ado, I now present a few pictures of socks, what else.
This first pair is made from Hazel Knits yarn in the color Laguna. Truly a wonderful yarn to knit with. Very tight twist and very smooshy to the touch. The pattern is called Artichoke Socks. Really a very simple pattern to work. I am very pleased with the matching of pattern to yarn for this one. They fit like a glove.
After this picture, are the spoiler pictures. Do not go there if you don't want to be spoiled, okay.
This is the March shipment from Socks That Rock yarn club. The yarn is of medium weight and is divine! The colors are not those that I would choose on my own. Yet, I truly love them! Here are a few pictures of the yarn in a skein and then unwound in preparation for the ball winder.
Here is where I am in the pattern thus far. The pattern was written by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, aka the Yarn Harlot. Again, this was not a pattern I would have chosen. And yet, I love it! I am obsessed with knitting this sock. It is coming out really nicely. Lots of fun to knit. There are so many new things that I have not done before like a picot hem, decorative rosebuds, and some interesting twisted stitches. The second sock will sort of mirror the first, I believe.
I am quite proud of these. They far exceed my expectations!
