As you may or may not have noticed, I’ve been a slack blogger lately. So, inspired by Kate White (via her book “I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This: Success Secrets Every Gutsy Girl Should Know”) and Rachel Herron (via her newsletter), I got up early this morning to blog my Sty Head Tarn socks.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, writing in a quiet house with the moon and stars shining outside and me all snuggled in a sweatshirt, PJ pants and cozy socks is fitting. When I agreed to test knit for Louise Tilbrook, I did so because she’s terribly nice to work with and because I have a cable addiction. Then, I went stash diving for yarn and came up empty handed. The pattern isn’t so complicated that I wanted a semi-solid but wasn’t really suited to a variegated. So, I shrugged and reached for a hank of Casbah, knowing that at least the socks would feel like heaven on my feet. What I didn’t expect was to fall in love with these. I normally knit lace and cables in bright jewel tones, but these soothing greens and blues and lazily swooping cables delivered socks that could give chicken soup a run for it’s money. <\/p>\n

\nPs. I looked up what Sty Head Tarn is and it’s a mountain lake in the English Lake District near the top of Sty Head pass. Sounds as soothing as my new socks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
