Next!

Two blog posts in two days?  That’s my life.  Feast or famine.  In that spirit, feast your eyes on this:


This is the latest in what will likely be a long line of projects designed to help me avoid working on the Lacy Beast.  The pattern is Morgaine by Natalie Servant and I’m using some yarn I picked up at this year’s Magnolia State Fiber Festival.  It’s Heavenly Fibers Stardust Fingering in color way Biker Chick.  I love pink and gray/black and knew when I bought this that it wouldn’t be socks.  I found the pattern after much agonizing on Ravelry and think it will work.  The picture is the lace edging that is knit tip to tip and then stitches are picked up and garter stitch short rows complete the crescent shape.  The yarn is dreamy.  Good stuff!





My Scott Base socks are complete!  I love these socks.  They were interesting but simple enough that I could pick them up and knit anywhere without having my head stuck in the instructions.  And of course my favorite yarn, Madelinetosh Sock, is always a winner - color way Rain Water.













Next in my sock future are some basic socks made from another skein of Tosh Sock in color way Turtle.  I saw someone on Google+ making a pair with this color way and fell in love!  My LYS recently became a Madelinetosh retailer and I waited literally months on this skein but it was SO worth the wait.




What’s on your needles?  No, really, I want to know!

  1. You must be very patient to knit that lacy shawl. I'm just about to finish a very simple garter stitch shawl. Then I'll finish the hat which is still at the brim stage.

    1. Una, if only the "Lacy Beast" I refer to was as simple as the shawl, I'd be set! That and if I could complete as much knitting as you do! You amaze me!

  2. Rain water. What a great name for a color. :-D Your socks are scrummy. We're approaching wool sock weather in my corner of the continent, so sock knitting is taking a front seat lately!

    1. It has not been nearly cool enough here for wool socks but I've worn them a couple of times anyway! There's a real problem when you live in the South and love wool... :-/

    Anyway, that Turtle colorway is super awesome! I can't wait to see the socks
