Knitting News

Yes, I have been doing knitterly things ...

First, I scored Lorna's Laces sock yarn in Franklin's Panopticon colorway:

After calling around town I found it at Sheepy in White Bear Lake. I am so excited that I will have Franklin keeping my feet warm this winter (I love how that sounds!)

Also, I found a kit at 3Kittens for a tank made from a Karabella that is a silk/cotton blend for summer:

Even though I just finished a tank - this how it looked before blocking - the cotton looks very cottony, but I rather like the way it turned out anyway:
(I really should give up with the 100% cotton yarn for sweaters)

I've made good progress on a pair of gift socks in bamboo:

And I finished the first of my Mothers' Day socks - made from the bamboo/wool hand dyed hank that I got at the Yarnery with a gift certificate from my kids:

It's Mean Girl's Reversi pattern and I really like the way it looks!
