What's New

Here is a pair of socks I just finished. These are knit out of Mountain Colors Bearfoot yarn in the purple mountain colorway. The close up photo is the closest to how they really look. They are very dark blue with little zings of bright purple. This is my basic 2x2 rib cuff with heel flap. I did not try anything fancy with these socks, because the yarn does tend to fuzz and felt when washed. Any detailed patterning gets lost after just a few washes. They are very soft though. They have just a little bit of mohair in them.

In other knit news, I have not done much on either of the shawls that I started. I just have not had the concentration that they take.

I do have two other pairs of socks on the needles.
One is out of the mermaid yarn. This is the fifth
attempt to make socks with this yarn. I think this one just may be it. I will explain more later when I am more sure they are going to work.

The other pair of socks is a plain pair out of a yarn
called TOFUtsies. It is a wool/cotton/soy blend in
a pretty blue and white tweedy sort of colorway.
It's very soft and works up well. Photos later.
