I am surprised that I have made it this far without stopping to make something else. I can get pretty bored doing the same thing over and over. I have nine rows to go. Then I start on the final third. It’s charcoal, not a good color for me. That’s why I knitted with the light gray first. Now I’ll have something to compare with it.
The edge looks good.
I believe I mentioned that I did not care for the pattern that came with the kit. I liked the yarn except for the grey. It just didn’t look right with the other colors. Since I have A LOT of sock weight yarn, I’m certain I’ll find something to put with it. After all, It’s just grey.
My yarn club came today. I was looking forward to it because several weeks ago, they asked which colors I preferred. One of the choices was reds, and that’s what I was expecting. What I got was one wine, one grey and one black. I looked at the pattern and I said, “oh.” I honestly expected so much more from Miss Babbs. I have gotten some absolutely beautiful yarn from them. The stuff the I got today was down right dull. I am so disappointed. I’ll be looking elsewhere for a yarn club next year. Hells. Bells.
This is the sock yarn dyed especially for Sheep and Wool. I thought it was a little tame, but it should make nice socks.
This my club installment. It’s lace weight silk and wool which is nice. Lace weight should be soft and lacy, not geometric. I have some yellow-orange alpaca that I plan to add. It should help soften the look. So. I guess I’ll go look at patterns.
