I like to think of myself as a storyteller. Mostly I tell stories about knitting.

I was planning to cast on two pairs of socks. Instead I cast on one pair. twice.

I LOVE this yarn but I may never find a sock pattern that is a good match for it. I keep trying.
Dianthus Superbus Socks – Take 1 in yarn hand painted by me. ew.

Dianthus Superbus Socks – Take 2 in Deep Ocean Dragonfly Fibers Dragon Sock. ahhh. much better.

The pattern makes me think of waves, so this yarn really is a much better fit all around.

Also on the needles is a Gentleman’s Fancy Sock for The Husband in Solemate

Colorway is “Bigger on the Inside” but I tried it on his foot and it fit just fine.

Ps. To see what other folks are working on, go check out Tami’s Amis.

  1. I think you’re right on all counts: Your hand-painted yarn is AMAZING, and the blue is a much better fit for the pattern. In the end, you’ll have some awesome socks and that lovely other yarn will find its perfect project. Sigh. I’m such a sucker for a happy ending!

    That pink and green job isn’t the one you got while you were here, is it? I’m excited to see what comes out of those :)
