Yes, I started more projects. One project was inevitable. I had finished one pair of socks, so of course I had to cast on another. While my Mini Mochi socks are first in the sock rotation, these will be backup traveling socks.
I love the pairs of socks I have out of that yarn, warm, fuzzy and so comfy. I have enough for at least e more pairs once these are done. And since I use a size 1.5 needles, due to the size of the yarn, rather than my usual size 1, they are usually a fairly quick knit.
But even with those socks already on the needles, I found some recent yarn to cast on for a new pair.
These are out of some sock yarn dyed by Rita Pettys of Yarn Hallow, and I got this last fall when Sandy and I had our girls day out. It was my purchase in Rockford at the yarn shop there.
I am not sure if you can see the label, at least clearly enough to read, but there is 2% silver in this yarn. Just a subtle bling, that is almost visible in this picture also.
And I couldn't believe the colorway is the same as the Well Traveled Shawl I finished last fall as well. A bit more purple, but it is the same Dove Gray. I really like the way this is knitting up, but I need to get the Mochi socks done, so I can start full speed on these.
Then I'll be walking on silver.
