I recently signed up for the sock yarnisa club at TIG even though I’ve never knit socks before. I am a knitting novice so I’m not sure what I’ve gotten myself into! I thought it would be nice to knit something up for moi for a change, I admit I’m a bit envious of all of little A’s yummy woolies. So in order to prepare myself for my first shipment which will be coming to me in late August I thought I should probably try my hand at knitting a pair of socks.
I found a “simple” pattern for here , The Super Simple Knitwit Sock Pattern, which calls for worsted weight yarn which I just happen to have plenty of in little A’s stash. I chose a left over trim skein of BBR dyed by Nurturing threads in a purple to match their Ankh colourway. So I’m about 25% done the first sock and all I will say is that dpns are not my friends. ugh.
On a side note, I just got in some TIG yarn from a co-op meant for longies for little A and they are gorgeous! Alice, Nora and Elsbeth all on Lindon merino (my favorite, love this stuff). YUM! I might have to steal a couple of skeins from little A and perhaps knit up a cowl or something for myself *shhh*.
Now I’m off to pock my fingers raw again and finish those socks!
