Double Moss Stich Socks



Pattern: Double Moss Socks from Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch
Yarn: Noro Silk Garden Sock, 1 skein, color s84
Needles: US 1
Mods: Worked an Eye-of-Partridge Heel

I love these socks! This was my first time working with the Silk Garden Sock, and I'll definately use it again. The depth of the colors is amazing.



The only thing with this yarn is that it has less yardage than the Kureyon Sock. I barely had any yarn left at the end, and I made the foot of the second sock a little smaller than the first. So next time I'll make the leg a little shorter.



See you next time with my current WIP's.

WIP Wednesday

When I first started blogging I used to blog about my WIP's every Wednesday. I somehow stopped doing that, but hopefully this will be the beginning of my doing it again.

So, about 6 weeks ago I contracted a case of startitis. And I currently have six projects on the needles, four of which I'm trying to work on regularly.

First up, ZephyrStyle's Tree Jacket.



I'm using Reynold's Soft Linen that I frogged from my failed Dollar-and-a-Half Cardigan. It's coming along really well so far - I should be able to put the sleeve stitches on holders tonight.

I'm also working on a pair of Mockery Socks for the Malabrigo March group on Ravelry.



I'm using Malabrigo Sock in Ochre, and it is soooo soft! I think it's probably one of the softest yarns I've worked with.

For my mindless knit, I've got a pair of Double Moss Stich Socks from Sensational Knitted Socks going in som Silk Garden Sock.



I'm loving this yarn, too.

And, a knit that I haven't worked on for a while, the Diagonal Cross Rib Socks from Favorite Socks in Brown Sheep Wildfoote.



I'm hoping to finish them in time for the Earth Phase of Project Spectrum.

Hope you all have a great Wednesday.
