Yesterday I showed you
Bugga in Goldenrod Crab Spider. Today I show you a
Goldenrod Skein from
Fiberphile in a Merino/Cashmere/nylon blend. And what it has started to become.
This is the first of a pair of
Pomatomuses by CookieA. I started a pair of these a few years ago but never made it past the heel of the first sock! I am since then a more confident sock knitter and felt able to tackle the pattern again.
I also used a really soft yarn blend because that much twisted rib can be harsher when knitted on the skin.
It is slower knitting than other patterns such as
Kai-Mei but I still feel such a sense of personal achievement with the end result. The second one is already on the needles. What have you achieved recently that gives you a real sense of accomplishment?
