Considering I had only 12 rows to go after yesterday’s lunch, I guess it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I finished the Jeans socks. My first completed socks of 2007.¬† Its a good thing too because I’m just about drowning in sock yarn
¬†I love this colorway and this yarn. Lorna’s is definitely some good stuff.
As you can see, I still have a few grams of the original 50g skein left.¬† Blows my mind.¬† Not trusting my knit maths skill any longer, I shan’t even begin to speculate as to how much yarn is remaining, though I really want to say 12g.¬† Sick huh?Finishing these socks means that I needed another commuting project.¬† Decadence.¬† Oy this is yummy yarn.¬† It is the Punte del Este Mericash.¬† OMG.¬† This yarn is to kill for yummy.¬† It is an 80/20 Merino/Cashmere blend that is sooooooo soft.¬† I might never take these finished socks off.¬† I’m using my standard US0 bamboo dpns, toe up over 60st for a change.¬†
You can see some subtle variation in the delicious chocolate brown color!¬† I hear this is a DK weight yarn but with the US0, it is working up in a very cushy fabric.¬† Loooooove it.After photographing the¬† socks last night, I went back to work on Humdrum, my home knitting project.¬† I finished off the front piece and am now pretty darn sure I won’t need the extra yarn, which incidentally arrived yesterday.¬† Since I ordered the stuff in good faith utilizing exception 2.c to the KFYS2007, did I fail?¬† Have I broken?¬†Anyway… time to go digging into some code.Craft on!¬†
Veni, Vidi, Knitty
