So, school is back in swing, now that our exam is behind us, which means I’ve started a fresh round of projects to work on during lectures.

This is the first sock from the Tanis Fiber Arts Blue Label that I bought a few weeks ago. I sort of fell in love with this yarn after knitting my second Ishbel with it over the summer, and I’m really happy that I found a place to buy it in Toronto.

Striped socks are just the beginning, here – with two skeins, I’ve got enough yardage for a couple of projects, and I’ve got all of these big plans for it. I’d love to be able to knit a pair of striped socks and then maybe an Ulmus, or another Daybreak, or maybe a striped Ishbel. The blue and the grey look really lovely next to each other, I think, and I’ve also got a lot of blues in my wardrobe – if I turn the sock leftovers into a scarf, it’ll go with everything, and that’s always a nice feature.
