This time I have actual Jaywalker progress. I’m 5″ into the leg of the first sock.
I love the way the yarn is striping. I wish the other Lorna’s laces striping yarns were my colors, because I would definitely buy some. Simply Sock Yarns has a special one that is brown and pink. When it goes back in stock I’ll be sure to get some. The Jaywalker pattern is going easily now, I just haven’t had a lot of time to sit down and knit. Yesterday I worked, played a mass, and then went to Marc’s office Christmas party, so I didn’t have much time.
I did have time to order more sock yarn, so I have to hurry up on these in order to get started on some more lovely socks!
Claudia Yarns in “eat your veggies”. I love these colors together!
Cherry tree hill in “Misty Moor”, a new shade. It’s a very pretty mix of blue, purple, and moss.
Shelridge farms yarn in “Fury.” It’s a little darker than the picture shows. I wonder what pattern would be the best to go with a darker color. This is also lovely yarn, and it seems to be slightly heavier than either the CTH or the Claudia. I am a little worried that it might be too dark for me. I ordered it because I’ve heard good things about their yarns, and because I wanted a solid so I could make a more lacy pattern, and it’s pretty inexpensive.
Save me from sock yarn. Ah well… there are worse bad habits I suppose.
I too just love the claudia yarn color combo.
It’s a very good think I have no idea where you live or I would be over there right now drooling over the pretty yarn. Such beautiful colors.
Thank you – I’m very pleased with the colors as well. They’re even prettier in person!
Beautiful yarns! Good luck with those jaywalkers.
someday i’ll learn to knit.
Ooh, gorgeous yarn, especially the Cherry Tree Hill. I have never knit a sock in my life, and yet I just placed a $70 order in sock yarn. What can I say, the colors sucked me in!
