Socks and Stuff - Episode 6 - The Knitmore Girls

 

Even snowmen knit socks!
(Snowman is posing with my mystery sock.)

On the needles:

Lots of socks.

• Swatching for the Not-Your-Standard-Issue Sweatshirt from the Yarn Girls' Guide To Simple Knits. To dart or not to dart? In Divé Autunno.
• More spinning than knitting. "Blackberry Swirl" from Fiber Fiend in Superwash Corriedale.
• We placed a co-op order from Crown Mountain Farms. We love Klaus! (We also love his superwash merino roving!) He's also dyeing yarns now.

When Knitting Attacks:

• Gigi realizes that there is not enough yardage in the Artyarns Supermerino worsted to knit them on itty bitty needles.
• Jasmin is still Sock Blocked.

Mother knows best:

• Swatch for your socks. Really.
• Graft "Hand wash only" socks with red yarn. This is a visual cue to not just throw them in the wash. Also, differentiated labels (red font vs black font) are also quite effective.
