I've been waiting to stitch up some new socks with this lovely yarn from Plymouth Yarn Company called Happy Feet. With 90% wool and 10% nylon, it works up with just the right amount of stretch for a really great fit. The colorway is a combination of many jewel tones, and those are some of my favorite hues. Now, to find just the right pattern. I'll go on a pattern hunt today!
Ravelry might give me some ideas.
In the meantime, I've been working on a new cardigan. The yarn is Knitpicks Stroll, in Burgundy. It's fingering weight yarn on #2 US needles, so this might take a while to complete. The pattern is
Castlegar Cardigan by Laura Chau. Here's a little preview of what's to come:
The twisted rib edge is very interesting, and not at all difficult. The color is a little deeper than the photograph depicts and the yarn is very soft and draping very nicely.
