Knitting from under my rock
Woolgirl asked me to knit up a quick sock for Miss Babs' trip to the Sock Summit.
As I have mentioned before, one of the reasons I enjoy test knitting is that it pushes me beyond my comfort zone and forces me to try patterns I would not ordinarily chose for myself.
In this instance, she sent a brand new color way Miss Babs dyed specifically for the Sock Summit and included a lacy sock pattern.
I LOVE the yarn color. The lace pattern was easy and I think I might actually cast on for a pair of socks for myself.
Not bad for a two day knit, if I say so myself.
As I also finished a sock for Woolgirl on July 5th, I am counting both singles as a pair and this marks my 7th pair for the year, so I have caught up... for the moment.
