Yarn: March 2007 Archives

A Small Dark Collection of Socks that Rock (Mediumweight)

It's always nice to get out to the Fold when Toni has had a recent delivery of yarn from Blue Moon. Way back when my Dad and Mom were visiting a few weekends ago was one such occasion. And so I bought myself some treats:

1) Obsidian
2) Stormy Weather
3) In the Navy
4) Lagoon
5) Puck's Mischief

The first three are for a gentleman that I live with who is very specific about his sock color requirements. I actually bought the Obsidian (the mostly black yarn) as a bit of bribery for encouraging In the Navy use, even though I have sworn to him up and down that I will never knit him a pair of black socks. Fortunately for me, the Obsidian has a good deal of depth that isn't immediately apparent. With the right little bit of detail, I think it will make a nice pair of socks, and won't be totally evil to knit with.

The Lagoon and Puck's Mischief are both for me -- or at least won't be used for Man Socks. I've been thinking about turning one of them into a pair of "Here There Be Dragons" socks because it would be kind of fun to have a pair fo those for myself. But who knows? Sock yarn that ends up in my stash always seems to change its final destination at least once...
