Big Bird’s Legs

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

I have been knitting socks this year, as part of my challenge, I’ve just been really slack about posting photos.

Big Bird's Legs

This is one pair I made out of my own self-striping handdyed sock yarn, I had to keep this skein because the colourways remind me of a scarf my friend had when we were teenagers that we used to call Big Bird’s Legs.

This is just a basic pair of toe ups with a short row heel and a long-ish cuff. Fun!

Goldenrod!

Goldenrod! It’s a colour straight out of a Robert Jordan novel, isn’t it? It’s also one of my favourite colours at the moment.

We launched this colourway a few months ago as part of our lace club (I’m so behind on showing off the projects from the club!) and now here it is in some of our other yarn bases, ready to be added to the store.

l-r: bamboo merino sock, silk merino lace, merino baby alpaca worsted. YUM!

And here’s one I prepared earlier, our yummy bamboo merino sock, in delicious squishy garter stitch (a possible new design that I’m very excited about).
