New York is blanketed right now, my car is parked in a great spot, the fridge is full of food and I’ve got tons of knitting to do by next Friday….Can you say hurray!!!! Kira is sleeping through the night and napping beautifully…I’m in heaven.
This is the first of a pair of socks for my sister for Christmas (I’m still hoping to get the pants done for Kira….hoping). It’s Socks That Rock in the Beryl colorway, medium weight. I love the colorways of this yarn but it is soooooo thick. I’m really not a fan of this weight for socks but I promised so I will knit on with love in my heart. She bought this 2 years ago at the Sheep and Wool festival. I promised her socks then…see where I’m going with this. I will knit on with love in my heart.
I was going to make Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Arch Shaped socks. I’ve being dying to cast them on after seeing this pair but this yarn is just getting on my nerves so I changed my mind midway and now I’m winging it…My sister will never know what they were going to be. And I know she is going to love what they become. So no worries…right?
I love the color, but I agree that yarn is too thick for socks. Better for baby jackets or hats on a #4 needle, I’ve found! Your sister will love the socks, I’m sure. Happy snow days to you… I’m jealous!
I have a couple pairs of socks knit with STR MW, and I love them! It’s good that there are so many sock yarns out there to make us all happy. I’m sure your sister will love them!
