Claudia's Hand Painted, in Walk in the Woods colorway, on US #1 dpns.
I was worried that the stitch pattern in Snicket wouldn't show up well in this variegated yarn, but so far the ribbing seems very well-defined, probably because of the twisted stitches. I have been waiting and waiting to use this yarn, and I love the pattern I chose. My only concern is if one ball per sock will be enough. I'm using smaller needles than the pattern calls for, and making a larger size than I normally would because I liked my tighter gauge. I'll still make the foot the right length for me, but I never know if I'm going to have enough yardage. Fingers crossed, because I got this yarn so long ago, I'm sure there's no more of this dye lot left!

isn´t that the reason why people invented knitting both socks at once and using a toe-up pattern? That way you´ll never be left without enough yarn, just shorter socks :)
I know! But the pattern I want to knit is written top-down, and I don't know if I have the skills to adapt it for toe-up. I might have to, thogh...
oh my goodness... you have an iphone?! oh my goodness...
No flash? That's a surprise.
Beautiful colorway. For my two cents, a finished pair of socks is wonderful no matter how long it takes.
Beautiful colorway! I can't wait to see the finished product! :)
