This is working up very quickly on size 9 needles and I can't wait to get a chance to wear it. As for my other vanilla project, here it is:
What? This is not a vanilla project you say? Well, this is melsmom54's Vanilla Socks that she knit with a yarn called Strong Heart from Fishknits. The colorway is called Cadillac. Last weekend I went to the Dixon Lamb Festival and Fishknits had a booth there. They hand dye their own yarns and they all looked like they would be fun to knit. Check out their web site to get an idea of what they do, including some great Halloween colors. Here is the skein I bought. It's fingering weight with superwash merino wool and 20% nylon:
The colorway is called Baby's Got a Dark Side - don't you just love it? They have a great talent for names and I think my daughter will get a real kick out of wearing these, that is, if I don't keep them for myself.
Have a great weekend and check out Andrea's blog to see what other knitters have been up to.
Love those cables! The sock yarn sure has very interesting colors.
