FO : Cider House



Pattern: Totally improvised, two at a time toe up socks

Damn I love those socks. My first two at a time toe-up socks. My first *real* knit with my own handspun. I love them. I couldn't be happier with the yarn itself; here and there there are small boops of yarn, some fuzzy clogs. But maybe two or three. That's it. Everything is regular, even, smooth...

It makes me less nervous about my Spin Me a Sweater challenge. If I'm able to spin a respectable sock yarn, why not a sweater yarn?

    I have to admit that as much as I like handspun, I usually like it better in skein form than knit. But when I saw the picture of those socks, I actually gasped. They are beautiful!

    Thanks. I know what you mean: I usually don't like thick/thin handspun in a skein form, even less once knitted. That's why my goal is to spin a yarn as close as the real thing... but wait, handspun is the real thing too! ;)
