New knits
Hello! I’ve been slack. Well, I’ve been working hard, actually. But I have a finished object that is - steel yourself for the shock - Not Socks.
This is ‘Swell’ from Knitty, although the knitted-in pattern comes from one on the South American Chullo website. This is Cascade 220, purchased from Yarns Online. I can see why the US uses worsted weight as the standard - it knits up so quickly. I finished this in a day. Cascade is a good workhorse of a yarn, and I can see why it’s so popular. This will be good to keep my ears warm as I walk home from the train station.
Oh, and I do have a pair of socks. You didn’t expect otherwise, surely?
These are the Winy Viney socks. The yarn is Dream In Color ‘In Vino Veritas’, and the pattern is the aptly named Express Lane by Diane Mulholland. Wonderful pattern, knits up so quickly, and absolutely beautiful yarn.
