This is a baby sock I abandoned 5 years ago...when I decided it wasn't for me. Yarn will be re-purposed for the quilt. |
Speaking of not sock knitting, I occasionally have a moment of insanity when I purchase sock yarn. It's usually the siren song of the pretty colors and soft fibers. It's when I get into full justification mode where I tell myself I will double it and use it for a scarf, or maybe some lace knitting. And then it sits in my yarn box. Forever. So, another reason for loving the pattern is that I can use all of the sock yarn I have on hand for this and it still won't be enough. Great stash-buster!
Sparkly pink sock yarn I bought ages ago...because it was pink and sparkly. |
I am looking forward to seeing how I customize this project as I go along. The pattern really lends itself to embroidered bits, interesting color choices, shape, etc. I plan on taking my time with this...just picking it up here and there...letting it evolve. Love.
Tiny Owl designs some of the most fanciful and charming knitting patterns I've seen online. Very clever, lots of attention to detail. Take a look and a listen. The designer, Stephanie Dosen is an incredible professional musician as well.

Oooh, it's a shame you don't knit socks, that sparkly pink yarn is so pretty, perfect for socks!
ReplyDeleteAnd yet another of the blogs I love is starting this damn beekeeper - I don't know how much longer I can resist!
@pinkundine: you must start the beekeeper! If I hadn't started using the pink yarn already I would have sent it to you. It deserved to be with a sock knitter!
