Finally, some knitting content. I did finish the baby spiral jacket that I was working on for Monkey. However, because I am back at work, I often miss taking her out of the house (and some decent daylight to take photos in) and so I promise to try and get some photos of this amazing little sweater jacket right away.
I do have photos of my newest SIP (sock in progress). Funny story about this yarn - I hatedit when I got it in the mail. See, this is the one problem with ordering things online; you can’t touch them. I really prefer my sock yarn to be super soft and smooshy. This yarn is the exact opposite and the colors feel very busy to me. However, I have found that these types of yarns really make the socks that I find myself wearing most and so I have persevered with these socks.
I have come to the conclusion that this yarn will not be tamed. It will not knit nicely into a perfect little sock. No. This yarn has been frogged a total of 4 times already. If you know me at all, you will know that I rarely ever frog anything. But, the first two patterns I choose looked like bum with the variegation’s in the yarn. The next attempt was too small and this one is not working out as I would have liked. But, it fits and it will remain. Can you guess what pattern this is? How about the yarn?
Oh I am thinking the no purl monkey’s…….Done in socks that rock………I am already taking your class so I guess I am not eligible to win another…LOL
The socks look really good…don’t be hard on yourself. The pattern suits that yarn and the colors are cool…I know about when yarn does not feel good..having the same issues with that red yarn I was starting on last week. Oh well.
Hmm..I was really squinting, getting close to the computer ( no I don’t have bad eyes) as if that would help me figure it out. I read Marnie’s guess, but because I’m not convinced she’s write I’ll be in suspense! At first I thought Monkeys, but they look too “curvey”. Does the “no purling” change the look of the pattern?
Hey Trish,
I read that you are looking for someone who bought truffle from Ocean Winds. I did, I still have most of one skein left. Anything I can help you with?
