December’s sock yarn
From left, that’s Meilenweit Megaboot Stretch #711, the Lisa Souza Wild Things yarn gifted by my LSP, Trekking #101, more Megaboot Stretch (#709), Regia Banner colour #5450 (self-striping, for Jaywalkers) and, in front, some Fortissima Socka #2420 (now sadly and inexplicably discontinued).
This photo doesn’t do the Lisa Souza yarn any justice: it was gorgeous in the skein, but in the ball the subtle variations in the dark background colour show up much more clearly, and the turquoise and rust splashes really sizzle. And it’s soft. I can’t wait to start knitting it.
I almost can’t bear to start knitting the Fortissima Socka, though, since it’s unlikely I’ll ever find any more. I bought it a year or so back, and I just take it out from time to time to ogle the rich, subtle, tweedy colours and squeeze it. You know what I mean.
