Three Little Lovelies

I picked up these three little lovelies at a local yarn dyer’s studio. Sweet Georgia yarns are hand dyed locally (in Vancouver) and the colours are really something! Vibrant colours in original combinations, there were a lot to choose from. I chose these three skeins of Superwash Sock to indulge in a little sock designing. I like to go bright and exciting with socks at the moment. Why knit socks if they’re not going to be noticed?

I picked up 1 skein of the yellow to give this new yarn a try and I was so pleased at the way it knit up. I was about half way done the foot on the second sock when I ran out of yarn. Designing doesn’t always go the way you want when you start out. This pair is a little to big and a little too tall, I’m lucky I’ve got some pretty large feet. The next pair will be bang on: tighter and shorter.

I’m not sure if I will make a couple of pairs of regular socks or if  will mix and match with a little green on the top, heel, and toe and a beautiful pinky middle (and vice versa of course). Either way they will be some really fun socks.
