What can I say? I looooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeee the yarn. It is absolutely amazing to knit with and I want to give a huge shout out to Kim for giving this fabulous yarn as a prize. Thanks Kim! It was dreamy to have my fingers upon and my feet are going to appreciate it in the cooler weather.The pattern is a toe-up, which I am a big fan of, and is super easy to follow. The only thing I wish I had done was knit the socks in a size 1 needle instead of the 1.5's. I originally started them with size 2's. Got all the way to the gussett increases and decided it was going to be way too big. Went down a half size and got a much better fit in the foot, but with the pattern only being on the front side of the leg, the back tends to be a little baggy. With all that said, I love these socks!
This morning I started another pair of socks. Will share another day.
On the Titled Duster front, I seamed the sleeves up last week and was going to attached them this weekend, but the humid heatwave that came through made it so I didn't want to go near this knit at all. Maybe this weekend since the temps are down in the 70's now.
I am also patiently awaiting my yarn to arrive so I can start knitting Wicked up and hopefully finish it in time for Rhinebeck. The store didn't have enough skeins in stock of the same dye lot. They said they already had an order placed for it and asked if I wanted to wait. I said absolutely. Hope it arrives this weekend. We shall see!
