I finished my June Personal Sock Club socks. Actually, I finished them before I started David’s Urbanista, then promptly forgot all about them!
\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThey’re nice and squishy!
\nSpecs:
\nPattern: BFF socks<\/a> by CookieA (Rav link<\/a>)
\nYarn: Mountain Colors Bearfoot in “Wildflower” from The Loopy Ewe<\/a>
\nNeedles: 2mm.
\nMods: None!
\nI love this yarn! I did use it one other time, a few years ago, but I didn’t hand wash the socks, so they felted. This time I’ll be more careful. The wool\/mohair\/nylon combination is soft without being scratchy, and nice and warm!
\nSo I got to start some new socks. On new needles – at knitting camp, Kylie<\/a> had a new set of needles, Kollage Square DPNS<\/a>. Square needles! She told me she’d got them on a recent trip to London, so when my sister-in-law asked if there was anything I wanted while she was in London, I placed an order, and got a set of my own.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nSo armed with this month’s selection (The Plucky Knitter<\/a> MCN Fingering – yum!), and the new needles, I began a new pair of socks.
\nThe pattern I had chosen was “A Step Above”<\/a>, a pair of entrelac socks. I’ve never done entrelac before, but they were coming along wonderfully.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThen I decided (possibly for the first time ever<\/em>) that this pattern would be better in a yarn with more variegation. So I pulled out my new CookieA book and picked a new pattern – Rick<\/a>.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nSo far, so good.
\nToday’s bear is a happy little guy.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nIn fact, his name is Happy Harry. Look at that face!

\nVery cute, but it was a total pain in the butt to make!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
