I finished my Fleece Artist socks!
Why do I not knit socks in winter? It’s too warm now for hand knit socks!
Twinkie gave them the rub test.
They passed!
Specs:
Yarn: Fleece Artist Merino Sock, I have no idea what colour. (The label just has a handwritten “736” on it.)
Pattern: Standard Stockinette Sock, with “Little Shell Insertion” panel from “365 Knitting Stitches a Year”
This was the first time I’ve used Fleece Artist sock yarn, and I love it. It’s a little thicker than a standard sock yarn, but it’s deliciously soft and squishy.
I also finished the Grape Hyacinth scarf. I soaked it to block it, and this is what happened.
That’s from one lonely ball of SWTC Karaoke. And it was variegated yellow, green, pink and purple. The water was dark, dark purple. I’d hate to see what would happen if you made an entire garment out of it!
Pics of the finished scarf next time.
It’s school holidays here. Does that seem to come around far too often, or is it just me? Due to that, and the sewing, and the fact that the Real Estate have sprung a surprise inspection for this weekend, I haven’t had any time or concentration for Spring Blossoms. I will get back to it soon, I hope.
Now, though?
Socktoberfest!
Of course you know any post with that bunny in it is going to get a comment from me. But actually, I was going to comment after just seeing the first picture. What great socks!
I love the color of the socks. It sucks that they’ve sprung an inspection. Don’t they know that they are interferring with your knitting!
Real Estates have no consideration springing one on you. Gee cant they understand your busy and have work to do.
The socks looks great. =) Twinkie has good taste.
The socks turned out great!
The socks are so pretty and I just love the color. Can’t wait to see which pattern you choose for Socktoberfest!
I love the colors of your socks! I’ve never knit with Fleece Artist but it sounds yummy.
Nice socks, the yarn you have out ready for the next pair is really nice.
Don’t tell Peaches but I’m pretty sure Twinkie is the cutest rabbit on the planet! I love the socks as well.
I love your socks, glad that Bunny approves of them too. We just finished up school holidays, and before you know it 10 weeks till xmas and the kids are off home again. I must start making xmas pressies I think, or nothing will get finished. I hope your inspection goes well and you hide all your bunny evidence.
Your bunny has great taste in socks. They are beautiful.
And yes school holidays do come far too often. Plus they seem to fall at the least convenient times … always when you have a ton of stuff to do.
Really nice socks! I think knitting socks in the spring and summer makes perfect sense. They are small and not hot to work with, then when fall and winter come you have plenty of choices.
The socks are gorgeous,
Twinkie is the star!
Glad that you’re enjoying the LL yarn
Can’t wait to see which pattern you select.
such pretty socks. is that LL child’s play? beaded socks? and lovely dpns!!
Oh pretty Fleece Artist socks. I am ging to cave eventually and get me some fleece artist….
We are now 12 days into socktober and I have not even started my socktober socks!
I love the colour of the socks!
I love how those socks turned out! The addition of the shell lace pattern was brilliant! The grape hyacinth scarf is pretty cute too!
