Finished socks! The yarn is Adorn sock yarn, from Three Irish Girls. The color name is Tits Up!, which is from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel tv series. I love the show, so I had to buy the yarn.
I used the same pattern-in-my-head that I always use. 2.00 mm needles, as usual. Nothing fancy, just plain socks.
Here is where I am on the Get Out of Ukraine Socks.
The colors are more Ukraine Flag by Starlight than the real flag colors, but I like it.
And here’s a blast from the past.
Pretty exciting, eh? The really exciting part is that is the beginning of a sweater sleeve. Here are the rest of the sweater pieces.
Fronts and back done. I just have the sleeves and the front bands to do and this will be a finished sweater. This has been marinating a bit, but I’m determined to finish it soon. It will be a nice in-between-seasons piece to wear in the spring.
That’s what the finished sweater will look like, although I’m making the sleeves longer. And I still haven’t decided on the pockets. I think I’d like the line of the sweater better without the pockets right over my hips, which certainly don’t need any accentuating.
I do love this yarn. It is Appledore DK, by John Arbon Textiles. It is one of those yarns that would work knit up into a wide gauge range. I’m trying to restrain myself from buying more of this in some other colors. I think it would make a lovely shawl. Or two.
Stay tuned!
Impeccable sock knitting as always. I get too hot wearing sweaters so have never knit one. I have a whole cabinet of shawls, stoles, scarves tho.
Thanks for the update on your knitting. I’m inspired!
I, too, buy yarn based on its name and/or reference(s),
Love the speckled and Ukraine sock yarns. Your sweater yarn also looks great and will be wonderful finished. I too share concern about pockets on handknit sweaters. Not sure they are really useful.
I enjoy reading your blog. My husband & I are interested in attending Wintergrass for the first time. Unfortunately, the Hyatt is booked. Any recommendations for lodging nearby? Restaurants?
