For today’s project, I went decidedly different and chose the Tara socks by Janneke Maat. The twisted stitches and cables were a perfect fit for the BitsyKnits Sock82me yarn that I got at Rhinebeck 2012. The yarn is great for cables – 8 plies make it a beautiful, round yarn and give it wonderful stitch […]

FO: Palm Beach Socks
I finished another pair of socks yesterday – my second pair of the year. In case you didn’t hear me – in 4 months I’ve finished as many socks as I did all of last year. Woot! The deets: Pattern: Wendy Knits Toe-Up Slip Stitch Heel (66 sts) Yarn: Black Bunny Fibers Wool Nylon Sock […]
