This is my Sunday accomplishment. I recently bought a few skeins of handspun yarn online, and because they were so beautiful, I could not resist to start a project as soon as possible. This is a photo of the yarn I am talking about:
Sock Hop yarn by Crown Mountain Yarn
So beautiful, aren't they?
I started my first sock project some time ago, but I guess I have chosen the wrong design because I am not making much of a progress with it. So this time, I decided to go for a very simple rib sock design, starting from toe. I used this pattern, and modified a bit as I went. It is so much fun!
So, now I can proudly say, "I can knit a sock!!!!"
I usually prefer semi-solid colorways, rather than mixed colors. But these days, I became attracted to handspun yarn more and more, and I guess my taste for yarn started to change.
Other projects currently underway:
(1) Featherweight Cardigan
This is going to be a light-weight simple cardigan for spring~autumn. Knitting with a very thin yarn (sock yarn, Dream in Color Smooshy in Happy Forest), it is going to take a loooooong time. I am already getting a bit tired of it...
(2) Green Gables cotton sweater
A short-sleeved cotton sweater in bright pink (Brown Sheep Yarn Cotton Fleece in Provincial Pink). The color is very pretty, and it's already half done. It's just this is another very plain knitting, and I am getting a bit tired...
