I finished a pair of socks a few days ago and I have to say I absolutely adore them. I don't usually knit things for myself, but after my beloved boyfriend felted a pair of handknit socks I made with my own handspun yarn ( I almost killed him!) after I specifically told him to give them to me so I could hand wash them for him I decided that it was time to knit something for myself and screw the non-wool loving people.
I went online because I wanted a really nice yarn to treat myself. After looking around some posts on
Ravelry I found that alot of people
love the Socks that Rock yarn from
Blue Moon Fiber Arts. I decided to give the yarn a go and ordered colorway Kaw Kaw in medium weight sock yarn. I am not going to lie, I was impressed.
Sorry for the lousy picture, there hasn't been much sun for a few days and I am pretty sure I should invest in some sock blockers =P. This yarn knits up so easily and beautifully I would recommend it to any knitter who loves to knit socks. It is soft and thick and deliciously squishy! It was a smooth knit, the yarn never split or frayed and it was a consistent size all around. I cast on 48 st and just used the plain vanilla pattern but instead of stockinette I did the double seed stitch. Super simple, super quick and super cute! Bottom line, I think I am going to have to order more yarn....
