WIPs: Suzanne socks and an alpaca silk top
Thanks Purlpower!
Purlpower gave me a skein of Wollmeise Superwash sock yarn in the Suzanne (dark) colourway, and I decided that a plain sock was the order of the day for it as it has such rich colours and short transitions between colours. I ended up knitting a 60 stitch top down sock with a 3x2 rib as the main body knitted on 2.25mm needles. Should be a nice close fit. I am planning a heel flap with gussets for a nice fit. I love the colours and hope I don't get much pooling on the foot.....
Blue Sky Alpacas Fitted Evening Top
When I was in London recently for the preview of the Open Source Embroidery show, I had a bit of a spree in Stash Yarns. I bought the pattern and yarn for this Blue Sky Alpacas Fitted Evening Top in alpaca silk. I chose the Blush colourway - which is a pale pale baby pink. I am using a 3mm needle to get gauge and I love the yarn and the simplicity of the pattern. It's a simple tube relying on the different ribbing for shape until you get to the bust, when short rows shape the boobage area. Can't wait to wear it!
