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
they look deliciously cozy and Cosy! what a great use for the precious handspun.
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!
do it! both are great fun.
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 saw on your blog that you were deep deep into sock knitting ;)
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.
oooh. now that is exciting.
