handspun socks

October 30, 2009

speaking of things i’ve never knit and should… handspun socks? i didn’t have a pair until last week. and boy are they fun!

made from this yarn – local bfl farm wool – on size 4 needles.

it sat around too long and eventually got knit.

wheee! they make me happy.

How inspiring! They are lovely

i love the contrasting toes and cuffs — i bet there’s nothing like handspun socks to keep you warm and toasty. (i have yet to knit some…but soon!)

I am dying to learn how to spin – a pair of homespun socks are the first thing I’ll be making when I do!

Socks are a path to the darkside. I should know and I’m not going to cross back over. :) I haven’t knit any out of handspun but it is on my list.

They look nice and comfy and that green look great with all the pink and purple.

I love the look of handspun. Those look so fluffy. I am working on my first handspun on a spindle and I can’t wait to set it and knit it.
