How it started.
How it ended. In 2011 I bought 12 pounds of unwashed Corriedale fiber and over the years made many pairs of snow socks out of it. Maybe this year these will bring me some luck and we'll have a real winter again.
Other than the snow socks my other sock projects are languishing a bit because of the stocking KAL. I'm only doing five rounds a day but I'm always amazed at how fast these things knit up.
I took advantage of the Knit Picks sale and bought yarn for the actual Arne and Carlos 2025 stocking that I'll start in December. I'm going to try it in a sport weight rather than the fingering weight I have been using.
I'm still working on the Prayer Shawl in bed at night and I just used up the first skein. I probably should just go ahead and ignore the pattern and order another skein, right?
All these lovely woolly things are going on inside but outside, Mother Nature has been playing tricks. Hot, cold, hot, cold. Even my camellias are confused.
I love these latest snow socks! The stocking is really lovely also. I do hope you hang them up to admire your handiwork! I vote for ordering another skein (or three).
ReplyDeleteThe color of the snow socks are gorgeous. Love the color you dyed them. The Christmas sock is beautiful and really makes me wish that I enjoyed color work more. I also vote that you should probably go ahead and order more yarn. You can never have too much, right?

Spinning, dyeing --- you're rather a genius.
ReplyDeleteLovely socks - we got a bit of warm up and I was hoping it would last - but BAM! it's freezing again.
ReplyDeleteThe socks look great. I've been commenting but somehow I push publish and they disappear. It's a mystery. Anyway, I enjoy your adventures.
