More Leftovers

 

Not my own leftovers this time. A friend had this yarn left over from a project and asked me to knit a pair of socks with it. She knows I like knitting socks! I found a pattern and started knitting, but the yarn really isn't suited to socks. It's a single, ie it doesn't have two or more strands plyed together, and it's too soft and easily split to make good socks. I contacted Kath and she said make something that the yarn is suited to. I browsed the pins on my knitting board on Pinterest and decided on That Nice Stitch (cowl) by Stitchnerd Designs. 

I'm happy with how it's turning out. I really like the texture of the slipstitch pattern, and the way it's combined with stripes of stocking stitch. To use the textured stitch entirely would be overpowering.
