The Rivendell socks are progressing nicely.

\nBut I’m not entirely happy with them.
\nFirst off, the heel turn instructions were wrong. I couldn’t find errata for them, and no-one on Ravelry had mentioned any problems, but I just couldn’t make it work, so I substituted my own instructions. Next, they don’t fit my cankles, so it looks like they’ll go to Emily by default.
\nAt least she’s happy!
\nAnd I’m not really loving the yarn. This is the first time I’ve used Sundara sock yarn, and to be honest, I was expecting more. It’s no different really to Yarntini, The Plucky Knitter or Koigu. And I know people say it’s the colours. Yes, her colours are beautiful, and I love this colour. But. Up close, there’s lots of tiny little dots of red. Undissolved dye, I suspect. And, half way down the leg I came across a spot where it looked like the yarn had been cut. It was holding together by a tiny little strand, so I had to cut it and rejoin it.
\nDon’t get me wrong, it’s nice yarn, it’s just not living up to the hype for me.
\nBut something that is living up to the hype? Aeolian. No full pictures yet, but here’s a teaser or two.

\nFull pictures as soon as I weave in the ends and actually take the pics!
\nThis morning, David noticed something while watching Twinkie out in the yard.

\n(Apart from the fact that the grass needs to be mowed!)
\nTwinkie is eating herself a little path through the grass from the clothesline to the table.

\nNow we need to find a way to get her to work on the rest of the yard!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
