It's a New Year

It's a new year - and I am back to socks.  After working on the Christmas gifts it's back to socks and obviously I do the same as with my quilting.  I have multiple projects at all different levels.  I joined in a KAL for the first time through knitpurlhunter.  It's also the first time I have done a sock with the magic loop, toe up style.  I had to start and restart multiple times but so far so good I guess.  The yarn is a new one for me also, CoBaSi, Burgandy color.  It's cotton, bamboo and silk fiber content, machine wash cold, dry flat.  I got the yarn at Fiber Wild, fast shipping!

The other new sock I started is the brown/tan stripe also in a new to me yarn.  The yarn is Lang JaWoll, Aktion.  I am doing the socks with the Zora pattern but the cable doesn't show up too good in the photo.  I like how they look though. 

The other picture is of the blue/green Opal yarn socks, just past the heel on sock number 1.

  1. love the colors on the Zora socks..Of course I like the others as well. Guess it is because I have never met a sock yarn color I didn't like.

  3. Funny - I had to look 2X at the blue/green Opal socks because at first glance they look like baby knee socks and I was wondering how you were going to close up the bottom of the foot! Nice knitting! I have to start a new pair of socks, my favorite pair was put through the wash - on HOT this week. Cheers! Evelyn
