I am a bit of a sock yarn addict. I
enjoy making socks, especially in the summer because they are
transportable and small enough that you aren't buried under pounds of
wool in the summer. Plus when you buy enough yarn for a pair of
socks can also make “something else”. Which is one of the
reasons Sock Yarn One Skein Wonders is a fun book – it helps you with the “something
else” part.
I picked this pattern because I thought
the lace was pretty, and I wanted to see what it would look like in a
less busy yarn. I chose the Dream in Color Smooshy with Cashmere in
the tonal black. With the cashmere it was really a pleasure to
knit. The lace is fairly challenging, so it isn't conducive to a lot
of multi-tasking, and I recommend putting in life lines just in case
you need to back up. Even with the complicated lace, it knitted up
fairly quickly because of the small size – and the prize at the end
is the lacy border which was really fun.
I enjoyed knitting this, and am really
pleased with the end result.
