Scappy Sock

The Le Printemps socks are done. They are a nice pair of ribbed socks. I love the way the color on the toes looks.

I’m working on a super secret non-sock project right now. Oy! I remember why I only knit socks now. This thing is slow going. The straight needles are a big pain in the butt and I almost bought a pair of Addi lace circulars for this one project. The blunt tip on the regular Addis I have has always been problematic for me because I knit so tightly.

But I can only take so much non-sock knitting without having a breakdown. I decided to knit up another scrappy swatch sock. The cheesecake colorway looks amazing, even though there wasn’t enough to knit a full stripe repeat. This one flew off the needles in less than a day!

I’m working on the Crocus socks too. The yarn is most fascinating to watch being knit up. You can see where the full skein was added onto the small part I already had knit up. I probably should have frogged and started over but I hate frogging. I do like the fingering Louet base yarn.

The Sweet Sheep order was sent on its merry way this afternoon. I didn’t have time to take pictures last night. I was scrambling around trying to twist up and tag the skeins that refused to dry on Sunday. The new DK superwash merino base yarn is uber squishy and almost as nice as the superwash BFL DK. I hope everyone likes it.
