I have a good deal of catching up to do. But given I just got back to the office after my week off, it might take a few posts to get my knitting up to date.
I completed my fourth pair of socks over a week ago on Saturday, Oct. 6th. Woohoo!
They were made with hand dyed yarn that was created to be self-patterning. I like the way the dye job came out. I call them my ravishing socks. It is mostly about the ravishing red color. And that I like having silly names for the colorways I dye.
I like the finish project. I think the Elann Esprit is a bit thick, but the cotton/elastic blend really seems to fit well on the foot and is pretty forgiving. I definitely like them.
