Put A Sock In It!
I’ve been focusing on garments of late, which means I haven’t been doing much in the way of sock knitting. That stinks! I love making socks, and they’re my “go to” project for car knitting, bank line knitting, reading blogs knitting, and more. I did finish a sock a couple weeks ago
made with Meilenweit Soja Print–a blend of wool, soy, and nylon that comes in great shades
and was part of the massive Meilenweit delivery that came recently
and
On Wednesday of this week, I started another sock (during my monthly pedicure/reflexology appointment–NEEDED when you’re on your feet all day like me, especially now that I’m also walking every other day for fitness/personal reasons). It’s a new line of Meilenweit called “Merino” that’s merino wool/nylon instead of ??wool/nylon, and it’s UBER soft
and uber-beautiful, too! I couldn’t be more pleased with how it’s working up–the colors are crisp and clear, the stripes are WELL defined, and the resulting sock fabric is a joy to fondle (and I’ve fondled–trust me I’ve fondled). I also recently started (and tore out) a sock made with the orange version of this
which is Meilenweit Solo, another amazingly-soft sock yarn from Lana Grossa, only this time it works up into a beautiful degrade color ramble of goodness. I didn’t like how wide it was turning out (toe up, just to mix it up a bit, and this time for ME, where the others above are shop models). Hopefully I’l get it back on the needles over the weekend.
That’s about it from these parts–I’m out of here for now, as I’m having a late breakfast and it’s getting cold off my right elbow. Have a GREAT Friday!
