I had hoped to finish the second Rose Ribs sock (page 80 of Sock Knitting Master Class) at the Knitter’s Review Retreat, but there was just too much going on. Instead, I finished it on the plane home on Monday. I love the yarn I used for these sock–Plucky Knitter Primo in Sticky Toffee. It’s a nice round yarn with plenty of stretch. And in a fiber combination of 75% extra-fine merino, 25% cashmere, 5% nylon, it’s a dream to knit with and should be heaven to wear.
Those of you with eagle eyes might notice the slightly darker toe on one of the socks. That’s because I didn’t remember to take my gauge swatch with me and I needed that yarn to complete the second sock. Fortunately, I found a few yards of a similar yarn at the Retreat.
Next up are Meg Swansen’s Twisted Rib Stockings.
Love that color.
And that’s pretty funny about the gauge swatch, but I’m glad the new yarn could save the day.
