I woke up one day…

and there was lace all over the bed.

Me: Whoa… *tries to pick up lace*
Lace: *snags on eight different things*
Me: Maybe size eights and laceweight don’t mix as well as I thought…

Yeah, I’m sorry. I’m too tired for a coherent post today.

 

Back, now with Springiness!

I have been working on a pair of socks for my friend Amira. Here they are:

It’s Plymouth Yarn’s Sockotta (45/40/15% Cotton/Wool/Nylon) in colorway 30.
Somehow, the “colorway 30″ doesn’t seem to properly evoke the color of the yarn. Hmmm… I guess you could call it “Easter Egg Hunt.” It’s funny how much the colors seemed springy to me, even though the only color I think is properly spring-y is green, maybe with yellow and purple (for flowers, donchaknow) on the side. That would be a nice sock colorway, come to think of it.
Anyway, this sock has been through a lot of exciting adventures.

And it’s still on the ribbing! The pattern is my own. It’s a lacy rib that you can’t see when it isn’t stretched out. It’s just interesting enough to keep me sane.
Also… tree sweater alert!

Aww. I’m just realizing that the picture doesn’t really show the arm. Oops. Maybe I’ll take another. Anyway, it’s back to my sock for me!
