New socks


New socks! I started these in August, finished last night.

The yarn is Stocainn sock yarn, from Shilasdair yarns in Scotland. They don’t have this in their online store currently, but I cleverly bought a few skeins of this for the stash when they did have it. Their yarn is dyed with natural botanicals. I didn’t record it, but I’m pretty sure this was dyed with madder root.

I used 2.00 mm needles, and the same old jerry-rigged pattern. These are for me.

And of course there are new socks on the needles.

More about those later.
