It’s another beautiful, mild December Wednesday here in southcentral Pennsylvania, and I have three works-in-progress to share.
My current WIP
Clockwise from the left, I present for your viewing pleasure:
The Sunshine Ribbed Socks, sock #1, a simple 4 x 2 rib in Draygone Yarnes Merino/Nylon fingering weight in the colorway Hair: Let the Sun Shine In (from Bryanna’s Broadway Sock Club). Unfortunately, Draygone Yarnes has been on hiatus ever since Bryanna moved cross-country and I don’t know when or even whether she plans to start up again. She is my favorite indie dyer of sock yarn and I really miss her Etsy shop even though I need more sock yarn like I need a hole in my head.
Unwind Yarn Company’s Falkland in the O-Negative colorway being spun very, very fine on a Golding Ringspindle
Sparkly Garter Ribs Socks, sock #1 (almost completed), which is being knitted from my very own 3-ply handspun of BFL and Sparkle.
Be sure to visit Tami’s site to see who else is participating in WIP Wednesday.
I really like the sunshine sock. It’s so bright and cheery when it’s dull and grey out!
Yes, it’s very cheerful. And the yarn itself is very soft, so it’s a wonderful project to work on. I’m a little disappointed with the sock knit from my handspun. The yarn looked gorgeous in the skein, but knitted up? Not so much. 😦
Oh, both pairs of socks are going to be great! The colors are wonderful. And that spinning… that is super fine! Nice work.
Thanks, Michelle.
