It's really a bit extravagant of me to buy yarn when I have kilograms of wool waiting to be spun. But when Betty in the habedashery shop showed me her new stock of sock wool, this was so perfect for the Dragonfly Socks pattern that I succumbed. The design is by Jocelyn Sertich. I found it on Ravelry.
A lovely delicate mix of colours. Hope you enjoy wearing the socks.
ReplyDeleteThose look wonderful!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the colors! And lovely sock. I would have given in too.
ReplyDeleteAt least you use what you've purchased when you give in to temptation. That's not the case in this house. I have so much I need to use. The up side is, I know I'll never be bored when I retire! ;-)
ReplyDelete:-) I confess that a couple of years ago I bought several balls of sock yarn because sock yarn was being taken off the market, and still haven't used them! Now sock yarn has reappeared.
DeleteLove the pattern and yarn color. A lady in my Sr group lent me her sock knitting loom. I gave it 3 tries and decided my needles work just fine!! I have one bobbin full of handspun and will start another bobbin. this same lady gave me a bag of beautiful wool. Might just make some socks.
ReplyDeleteI love knitting socks, with handspun or commercial yarn. I haven't tried a sock loom. Not quite the same satisfaction perhaps?
DeleteLove the colour of your wool, the socks look lovely in it,
