An attempt at photographing the socks resulted in the wild man jumping in front of the camera yelling "cheeseburger"! Doesn't he look like a little mad scientist with all that hair sticking up? He's such a ham!
This is what I was trying to do! The finished Ridged Feather Lace Socks...such a joy to knit and even more so to wear! I L-O-V-E this yarn! It's my new favorite sock yarn. Thin enough to knit a nicely weighted sock without it having the bulkiness of worsted weight yet not so thin my fingers feel fumbly when I handle it. It is Cherry Tree Hill's Supersock DK Select. 100% superwash merino with a high twist. A hank is 360 yds at 4 oz. The colorway is Caribou Creek and this photo is pretty darned close to the true colors! At nearly $20 a hank, it is a tad on the expensive side yet one hank will net a pair of women's large socks and have enough left over for a pair of child's socks or some simple fingerless gloves. Despite the cost, I will definitely be purchasing this yarn again! Maybe in a nice variegated green?Some randomness about me:
1. I'm a "fag-hag" or so I've been told! If you have to ask, well then, look it up.
2. I love chocolate and cheese...together. I also love homemade mac-n-cheese smothered in ketchup. And, I love to dunk sharp cheddar cheese into applesauce for snacking. LOL!
3. I have two tattoos and my eyebrow is pierced.
4. I dream of living in Ireland and owning my own pub.
5. I'm seriously uncomfortable around any child other than my own. Like kid-phobic or something. Probably why I didn't have kids earlier in life. And why you'll never see me running my own day care *snicker*!
6. I'm a sci/fi geek - I love all things gaming, movies, tv, etc that are sci/fi or futuristic or even have a hint of fantasy in them. BSG is the best show on TV and the first of the last ten episodes was quite possibly the best TV I have EVER EVER seen. Simply brilliant acting, directing, and writing.
7. I have over 2,500 books in my personal library and have read thousands more.
8. I love wine.
9. I research the hell out of something I don't know until I have more knowledge about it than anyone cares to hear of. It makes me very dangerous!
10. My husband still turns me on after 18 yrs and I love having wild monkey sex with him! TMI - I know, I know!
Well, on that note, I think I'll sign off for now! Ha ha ha!
Stay safe and happy knitting!
