As usual, after a busy time with the kids,
I spent the day resting but one sock pleasantly finished-
and the other well on its way!
I had forgotten the difference in this yarn ,which is Hawthorne
from KnitPicks; it feels more like cotton than wool.
It dyes beautifully giving much depth of color within the strand.
I'm ready to begin the gusset here-and after the heel,
the sock will soar because I can't wait to begin
the new yarn in a pair of socks!
Such a pretty shade. What pattern are you knitting?
ReplyDeleteI hated Hawthorne when I first used it but it does make a nice sturdy sock. Those reels I've been using are Hawthorne but I swear they don't feel the same.
ReplyDeleteSo, is there are subtle shade of purple in that blue? So pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love the sock(s) and that lovely color.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried the hawthorne before. I usually only buy Felici for the stripes. I still have so much yarn leftover from our dyeing days - I'm not sure I'll ever knit through it all!
ReplyDeleteThe colours in that yarn are lovely though!
Nice socks! And toe-up no less. I don't enjoy that method because the casting on drives me nuts.
ReplyDeleteYour socks look great. I like the Hawthorne yarn too and use it often.
