In between sweating off about 8 pounds and battling ants in my kitchen I managed to finish the STR Broadripple cuffed socks that have been hanging around on my needles since June. The first sock went rather quickly but the second was afflicted with SSS and spent most of its life stuffed in the bottom of my knitting bag.. especially when the cuff started to pool differently than the first.
Pattern: Turkish cast on, MisoCrafty’s short-row heel, Broadripple cuff.
Yarn: Socks that Rock Medium Weight in Gypsum bought at MSW during our raid on The Fold’s booth. We had a battle plan people, it was serious.
Needles: magic loop - Addi 2.5 mm
I loved knitting with the Socks that Rock yarn.. it was very soft, well spun, and didn’t have any knots. The colors are rich and gorgeous but pooling on the other hand.. tests the tiny handful of sanity I have left. While the price of the yarn is too rich for my blood at the moment, I’m hoping to get some of the semi-solid colourways in the future.
What’s next on the sock needles? I’d really like to try some of the Lorna’s Laces that I have in the stash to see what sort of color pooling madness happens - I’ll figure out the pattern for the cuff after I turn the heel. Anyone who is on Ravelry knows that I’ve sort of gone batshit in regards to the pattern queue - I think I’ve got around 90 projects in my personal queue and that was only from some quick browsing.
