Nanette's Socks
Nanette wrote a lovely sock pattern for her blog readers, Caledonia Socks, from her June 25, 2006 entry. I was so smitten with Nanette's color choices that I tore through the stash to find my olive and fuscia sock yarns. What a wonderful combination!
Thanks, Nanette! My feet are lots bigger and my yarn is much smaller, but still! Fabulous colors! And I needed the practice doing stranded knitting in small circumference...I still tend to let the wool pull in. I highly recommend Nanette's books for two-color stranded knitting--they are full of great small colorful projects. Find Stranded Color Knitting here, and Wild about Color Knitting here. Nanette is working on holiday colors right now...I hope there will be a book.
Since it's Friday, I have links to ponder. First, this $11,580 crochet rug.
Find it at http://www.karkula.com/ . I like it. But where to find a crochet hook that large?
Second, fabulous hand and machine knit biodegradable textiles--see them here. Love the ruffles.
Ooh La La!
Happy Friday!
