Finished Sock

This yummy super soft sock is finished!

It was done in Tiffany colorway from http://knitterpated.com/. She generously let me test her handdyed yarn, and I love the resulting sock! Its so warm and soft:) Of course now that I made one sock, I need to buy another skein to complete the set!!!

The pattern is Groovy Socks, found here on Sock Pixie’s blog http://www.sockpixie.com/catalog/item/4635135/4736175.htm ”

Knit Me Up’s physical location is about to change to Lafayette NY. We are moving this week, so shipping will be suspended till September 1st. Look for reviews and comments to be posted on the blogs listed to the right. Once relocated, I will be approaching local shops in syracuse, and online about carrying my yarns as well.

Ok, so in line with my shameless self promotion, I grabbed a skein of My new yarn, in the Caitlyn color way. I proceeded to knit an adorable hat I had been wanting to try out. It barely took any yarn, and its adorable. It took me one night to knit up. And I love it! The pattern is piggle from Knitty.com.

So here is the Caitlyn color way balled up!

The Yarn stripes up nicely. In the 120 stitch count it has a nice gently sloping stripe of white. In the areas where it has decreased near the top, it begins to have thicker stripes, which is what I imagine it will do with socks!

And for the final product, A moment of pure beauty, on the person the color way was named after…

Not bad for a quick knit. The yarn was yummy to knit with. Very soft, and squishy…I can’t wait to knit up some socks with it!
