I organized a sock KAL at my yarn shop for the months of November and December, we all used Cascade Heritage Prints in the Holiday colorway but each person used whatever pattern they wanted too. I had so much fun seeing what all my knitting ladies came up with!
The only special portion to this sock was adding in a contrast heel so my stripes would stay in order. I <3 them!
The second pair I finished were purchased at my local fiber festival and are definitely a sport weight sock. I'm pleased as punch with the colors that are in the Blue Moon Fiber club colorway. I would love to dye some self-striping sock yarn to match the colors in these ones.
The last pair that I finished were a test dye for LunaPurl Yarns and I will be wearing them all year long. Although Andrea changed the colorway a bit, I definitely think this is going to be a great seller for her!
I did join a brand new book club! The first book that we've read, I just recently finished was The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I thoroughly enjoyed the book but I found it a bit slow to start in the beginning. Can't wait to start our next book! So I'm joining Ginny and Frontier Dreams in their "Alongs" for this week!
Your socks are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Eldra! I'm so happy with all my Christmas themed ones. My goal is to have a different pair of Christmas socks each day leading up to Christmas.
DeleteWonderful socks! How lovely to have new pairs in your sock drawer.
ReplyDeleteI love having a fresh new pair to put on!
DeleteI am more than a little obsessed with those cascade socks. Totally going to buy some of that yarn pronto. Will have to look up what a "contest" heel is. I love hearing of new (to me) knitting techniques- so thanks for the heads up there, too!
ReplyDeleteHonestly the 'contest' heel was a spelling mistake on my part, blushes. I tried to type contrast heel (I used Eye of Partridge) but I typed to the wrong word.
DeleteSuch colorful and fun socks! My favorite would be the second pair - love how the yarn's colors are aligned!
ReplyDeleteI found the pooling so interesting in these socks! And the colors make me swoon!
DeleteThey all look gorgeous. Wow!
