In addition to the ‘official’ stash exchange challenge, I’ve also challenged myself to knit up some lonely sock yarn that has appeared at our stash exchange for about 3 years in a row! I decided to knit it up right away so there will be no chance of it returning.
I would it up the day after the exchange, and casted on two days later. I decided on the sock pattern “Monkey” by Cookie A., as I’d knitted it before and found it a fun and quick knit. It also looks cute in variegated yarn, which is what I scored at the stash exchange.
I casted on at knit night last night, and at the end of the evening it looked like this:
After spending most of today in bed watching Harry Potter and knitting on and off (I think my on/off cold has turned into a sinus infection), I have this:
The pattern is fun to knit– it’s interesting enough not to bore me, but it’s not so difficult that I have to look at the pattern too much to make fast progress.
PS- the yarn is Lorna’s Laces Sock (striped or multi? I don’t know) in the colorway Daffodil.
This looks to be variegated. If it was striping, it would definitely show. Get better soon. Love the idea of being snuggled up in bed and watching HP while knitting.
I still get stripy and variegated mixed up…. So far it is making stripes as opposed to pooling, so I’m very happy with it!
