The other sock in the 'pair' is the first of Wolfgang's stripy Kaffe Fassett socks. I never tire of knitting simple plain vanilla socks, especially when there's a pattern in the yarn. The colours in this sock are really earthy. Mr Josiekitten (he of the 'only ever wears black socks' fame) was even heard to mention that he liked the colours and would wear a pair of socks knitted in said yarn!
Finally, a glimpse of my Noro Silk Garden reknit. Remember my frogged Sea Breeze cardigan? Well, I'm reknitting it as Lizzy, another Jane Ellison design. It's a simple cardigan with frills round the cuffs and up the fronts. Doesn't sound simple when I describe it like that, but it is, honest! I haven't got very far with it yet as you can see!
It's only two weeks now until the end of term, and I can't wait! I'm busy compiling a 'short-list' of holiday projects, and I think I've reached 20 already!!! I'll let you know what's in the offing next time.
Oh I LOVE your Zauberball socks! The colours are really wonderful. I have the black and white colourway, and will be carefull with it for knotting thanks to your adivce! I love your Kaffe Fasset sock too - I used the same colourway on plain socks and liked it more than I though I would!
ReplyDeleteLovely socks, I'd never knit one and start another without completing the pair but I envy anyone who can do that. The yarns are so gorgeous and I really like the spinning pattern. Can't wait to see all the other projects you have lined up.
ReplyDeleteLove the socks josiekitten, especially the Zauberball. It 's a great patter for the yarn. I'll have to give it a go I think! Love the Noro colours too. Looking forward to a couple of knitting days together over the summer hols!!!!
