Day six of the Winter Olympics and I am well ahead of schedule. Sock one is finished and sock two has the heel turned and stitches picked up!
Im not totally in love with this pattern coupled with the yarn! The yarn is so beautiful by itself that I think the pattern is a bit lost on it (don’t get me wrong-I think both the pattern and the yarn are fabulous just not sure. I had the right pattern for this yarn)
Isn’t the yarn stunning? I had around 20g left from the first sock so I have plenty left to be used for heels and toes!
I haven’t actually watched much of the olympics, although i do enjoy the figure skating! Fingers crossed I will have a FO for you by the closing ceremony!
Love

They are stunning!
Thank you :). I’m looking forward to them being finished! Xx
I might turn my skein (it arrived, whoo!) into arm warmers. Just because I want to see it all the time. But I’m tempted to sockify it after seeing yours…
Hi Shoe, I also absolutely love the yarn! Did I miss something? Did you say what the yarn is? Would love to order some IMMEDIATELY!
It’s beautiful isn’t it! Ah, I think I mentioned it in my previous post! It’s old maiden aunt but you might be out of luck as it was a special colourway for the Olympics! 😦 she has some other fab colourways though!!!
Ok thanks, I’ll have a look!
I can totally see why you’ve fallen in love with that yarn – it’s gorgeous! It would make me happy to think that my footsies were living in such colourful luxury! 🙂
