i completed sock one of my PSOTMC for february:
sweetheart socks on size 2s, with jitterbug. this is the first time i've used this yarn, and it's really nice. not splitty, not tangly, it reminds me a bit of koigu. pattern is pretty straightforward, even the lace heart chart is easy to follow.
the pattern called for 64 stitches, and i wish i decreased down to 60, my magic number for socks. the socks fit, loosely. a few stitches shorter and the fit would have been snugger. oh well.
and one ugh:
twin ponds fiber farm country kitchen yarn in bright eastery colors. i found the skein on the floor when i was fixing the metal picnic basket it lives in (don't ask. i don't sound good in the story). it was a cheerful skein and i've been in the dumps this week, and i thought, i'll make another moebius cowl. and this time it will be in the pattern i want. so i started knitting a garter stitch moebius (becos i miscounted my stitches for basketweave) and i got about 2 inches in when i realized, this isn't going to be a pretty cowl. the colorwave is pretty, but it looks more splotchy thank pooly. it's also 50/50 mohair/wool, and a bit fuzzy/scratchy, and i didn't think i'd like that around my neck. so i frogged it and decided to make this hat instead (courtesy of the influence of the yarn harlot). we'll see how this one shakes out.
