Warning: A Knitting Post
Posted on | May 26, 2009 | 5 Comments
One freckle done! I went to a baseball game yesterday and started on my next freckle. God, I love Socks that Rock. The base yarn is just top quality and the dye is amazing. STR truly is everything you hear about. When I was in California, I had to fight to get a skein of this yarn because I always buy yarn at the store, and never online. So when STR came into my local yarn store in California, they’d sell out in a matter of minutes.
But Socks That Rock is based near Portland so we have a bit more inventory and I can sort through the colors and smell each skein to decide which to buy. Normally I knit socks with bright colors. I figure if I’m going to knit a pair of socks they’d better be bright pink and purple and orange because I can buy plain socks anywhere. But my favorite STR colors are the pastels. I love the slow transitions and the slight contrast.
I’m not saying I don’t like the brighter STR colors because I do, dear god, I do. And I own plenty of it. But now that I’m knitting for myself again, this Freckle with its pale blue, hay yellow, and tea au lait brown soothes me. Helps me focus on the things I need and want right now. And one thing I want is a new pair of Socks that Rock socks.
And also a cute sundress.
