Stuff I hurried to finish today before leaving. (So I could take it with me!)
Sock pattern is Waving Laces, from the book Favorite Socks. The yarn is hand-dyed, from Spritely Goods. It was soft and nice to knit with, not splitty at all. The yarn seems very thin – I might have used 0 needles if I’d had them – but 64 stitches made a sock plenty big for my size-8 foot and the fabric seems to be dense enough, so that effect is deceptive. I think it probably seemed that way just because the sock took so long to knit, as lace patterns with a 20-row repeat are apt to do.
I’m calling it Blue Yonder, hence the colors and the wings. Taipei rarely has good skies, so that’s one thing I’m looking forward to on this trip. The necklace is somewhere around 6′ long, so plenty long enough to wear as three strands.
They both look yummy. Safe travels!
Hey, your socks came out great 🙂 And I’m loving the blues on that necklace! If you’ve got larger photos of the socks, I’d love to include them in the gallery – just send em onwards 😀
