I have a couple color combos I want to work on, in both variegated and self striping.
Most, if not all, of my personal knitting is done with yarn from Etsy sellers. There are many large yarn producers out there cranking out high quality yarns, but I prefer the creativity of independent sellers and small companies. Like me!
I bought a few skeins of Quaere Fibre last year. One as a gift and 2-3 for myself.
Janel doesn't have many of these self striping skeins left. I believe this one is the Patchwork colorway. These 150g skeins allow me to knit a longer leg (8") and use as much of the yarn as I can.
The stripes are short and fly off the needles. So. Much Fun.
Hoping to finish these over the weekend. I'm almost to the heel flap now.
Looking to link up with Ginny in the morning.
Later!

Wow, I love those socks! I haven't dyed in ages and am itching to get back into it. Hope you manage to get some done this week. It sure is addictive.
ReplyDeleteCute socks! :) Very colorful and bright. They will put a smile on your face every time you wear them.
ReplyDeleteGreat socks! I love the bright colors! I've used some of Janel's yarn before and loved it!
ReplyDeleteI was just watching the Knit Girllls podcast and Laura was knitting with the same yarn. From one Etsy seller to another - I agree that I like to support my fellow indie makers.
ReplyDeleteI watched the Podcast after you mentioned it. I think she had a much older skein. Mine is a 150 g skein that is 465 yds (I think). Fun to knit nonetheless!
DeleteLove the stripes, this is one cheerful pair of socks!
ReplyDeleteLove what you are working on - stripes make me soo happy!
ReplyDeleteI had a peek at your etsy shop. So there may not be much on it yet, but what's there is super super pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Natalie! That means a lot to me!
DeleteI love your brightly colored socks! This is such lovely yarn. It looks like it's a little thicker than fingering weight? Greetings from California!
