Since finishing my socks, I have – not startitis, per se, but a couple of different projects started this weekend that I’m hoping will get me through the next few weeks and a trip home at the end of the month.

The yarn above is Socks That Rock Mediumweight, in Knitters Without Borders. Which, tragically, is turning out to be one of those colourways that looks much, much better in the skein, but whatever. I kind of saw that coming, and it’s kind of a cool idea – a couple dollars from the proceeds of this colourway go to MSF.

I’ve also started something with this, and I’m very excited about it – that’s Malabrigo Lace, in Azul Bolita, and it’s exactly as blue as it looks in that picture. Expect a lot of Tobias Funke jokes.

    ooh, malabrigo lace!!! that socks that rock skein reminds me of several of the Twilight themed skeins that came out towards the end of last year. There could be some cool socks in there!

    I hear you about the better-in-the-skein conundrum! Didn’t the YH do the Leyburn socks with that colourway? I always thought that seemed to work well.

    [...] cardigan is going, but not as dramatic as I’d like. These are the socks that sprung from the Knitters Without Borders yarn, a few weeks [...]
