So, today is the start of the Sock Knitalong, hosted by Sarah of Crafts from the Cwtch.
I have selected the yarn I'll be using....
This gorgeous Juno Fiber Arts, Buffy Sock (which just so happens to have been a gift from the lovely Sarah *grins*)
I have cast on, however I still haven't quite finalised the pattern I plan to use *laughs* As I'm doing the socks 2 at a time, toe up, I have knit the toes and now I'm narrowing down my choices.
The yarn is so pretty, with splashes of red and blue, and I really want to make the most of it. I think I want to go for a pattern with something like slipped, winding or twisted stitches, pretty but not too bulky. There isn't too much variegation, so I can afford to make something with a bit of pattern as it won't get completely lost.
Currently my frontrunner is Charybdis... But you never know ;)
I'm also joining in with Sarah :) What great yarn and I hope you find just the right pattern, I look forward to next week to seeing what you decided on.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in that skein, I'm sure it will make gorgeous socks whichever pattern you choose.
ReplyDeleteI like that pattern, I hope you pick it. But then again there are so many lovely ones out there I totally get why you can't decide. Good luck using that beautiful yarn!
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited to see what you make of it! You always choose great patterns so I know it'll be something lovely.
ReplyDeleteLovely yarn, lucky you! I am attempting my first socks with the same book, but am starting off with the samples so I can stuff them up at this stage before using something 'proper' (this is a crap theory but I'm sticking to it!)
ReplyDeleteFun yarn you're using. There are so many great sock patterns out there. I understand how hard it is to decide upon.
ReplyDeleteI love your yarn choice and look forward to seeing what pattern you choose. Deb x
