stockinette pleasure
This is the mentioned socks in the last post:
Pattern: generic stckinette top-down simple socks
yarn: Sunshine yarns handpainted sock yarn
needles: #1 for rib and #2 for the body
And it turned out that it is quite confortable and warm socks, absolutely no problem with the quality of yarn...probably I was too suffered by PMS to be so fussy with such a good yarn! Now, almost everyday it rains in Tokyo and today the temperature even went down to around 10 degree(celsius) like winter, it is just apt socks for now. I love to wear it. It is actually on my foot just now.
And within 5 minutes or so after cast off this socks and completed the toe grafting, I casted on this:
What a colorway....I cannot take away my eyes from the yarn in knitting. This is Posh yarn's Emily, one of their gorgeous sock yarn, 10% cashmere, 10% angora and 80% lambswool. This colorway is "Hammock", and it is quite thick yarn as a sock weight. The more is knitted up, the more I dream its warmth and coziness...it looks sturdy and thick. and beautifully pooling...I love it.
And yes, I am knitting slowly the shifting sand socks too, but just for now I obsessed stockinette rounds and rounds....it makes me relax and I need this kind of knitting. Any cabling WIPS so far are waiting aside for awhile.
