Oh fair isle, how I don’t like to knit you. Yet here we go again…
This is the total yarn purchase for my trip to Switzerland. Yes, I went back to Switzerland again to packmule my momma back home. I am now officially a huge, hot mess. I did manage to sleep in today with minimal middle of the night hijnks, so maybe I’m being a bit dramatic.
Back to the yarn. I bought these sock yarn skeins in Bern with the intent of making There & Back Again Socks. Love! I just adore that pattern. Of course it’s a toe up pattern and I hate toe up sock knitting so I’ll do it my way (cuff down) and just do the chart backwards. That shouldn’t be too hard of an adjustment with this pattern. I just need to finish up the basic socks I’m knitting at the moment to get started on these. I plan on making two pairs of the T&B socks, but sometimes my eye wanders. Maybe I’ll end up with dots or skulls for the second batch…
That is one of my very favorite sock yarns. And a very cute sock pattern indeed. Nice momma-mule, yarn-mule and chocolate-mule efforts!
Those socks look fabulous! My only attempt at colourwork in socks ended with very sadly unstretchy ones, and I haven’t dared going there again … yet!
dude I love that pattern. is the second pair for me? OH OK. KTXHBAI.
I thought it was all chocolate and banking there. Who knew?! I hope everyone is doing well and that the trans-Atlantic flying is done for a while for you. Love that sock pattern! I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of the pattern.
That is my very favorite sock yarn. It wears like iron & gets so nice after a few washes. I haven’t been able to find it forever – I guess I’ll have to fly to Switzerland to get a few skeins. The pattern looks intriguing, but I doubt that I would ever knit it. Give me plain vanilla socks any day.
That blanket that is under the yarn is beautiful! Did you knit that?
