A few weeks ago Donna's daughter began knitting a pair of ankle socks. I wanted some too! I finally cast on for my own pair the other day. It am improvised pattern using Donna's notes and a heel from another pattern. Although I've made tons of socks I'm still not comfortable improvising the heel and gusset!!
I found this lovely lace weight yarn in the stash the other day. I remember buying it years ago but don't remember for what. I know I cast on something with the 3rd skein though because it's already wound. The lace weight threw me off it's so thin! Now I'd like to make something with it. Possibly a scarf. I'll have to check out ravelry for an easy pattern.
I love seeing the blue and pink in your yarn choices. I don't know if you have enough yardage but please stop back over on my blog and look at yesterday's post about a KAL that I'm starting this weekend. Would love to have you join!
ReplyDeleteYour lace weight yarn is so pretty! I love digging in the stash and finding forgotten treasures.
ReplyDeleteI love the colour you picked for your socks. I am itching to get another pair of socks going but they are on hold until I finish up some of my other projects (gasp).
ReplyDeleteThe pink lace yarn is gorgeous! Can't wait to see what you decide to knit with it!
ReplyDeleteI've had a lot of good luck with that particular sock yarn. It machine washes/dries like a dream for me.
ReplyDeleteHow about cold mountain shawl? That takes one skein of lace weight. Gorgeous gorgeous yarn!!! I think I'm envious!
ReplyDeletepretty pink lace weight. looks like you have enough for a decent sized scarf or shawl too :)
ReplyDeleteHunting for a pattern is half the fun isn't it? Can't wait to see what you decide to make with that lovely yarn. :)
