More sock yarn! Yay!
My recent mini-obsession with the hexipuffs are causing a problem. I’ve bought yarn. I wasn’t going to until I had cleared out some of the stash I already have. But the sock yarn just called to me …
Last weekend, husband and I went to one of our local craft shops on a total whim. Neither of us had any intention of buying anything, but sometimes it’s just nice to have a stroll around. Unfortunately, that stroll took us right past the clearance yarn, and there were just a couple skeins of sock yarn left. (Then this stroll led us past the non-clearance yarn, and one skein of that also got picked up.)
All 3 are Patons brand sock yarn. I have Patons Kroy Socks Ragg Shades in Brown Rose Marl (which is such a gorgeous dusty pink) and Kroy Sock Stripes in Sweet Stripes, as well as Stretch Socks in Grape Gumball. I have no real experience with stretch yarn, although I do have some in my stash. I picked up a Stretch Socks in a plum color a couple years ago, but I never used it. I know I’ll have to knit fairly carefully with it so I don’t stretch it while knitting. That could really mess up tension.
I didn’t get many hexipuffs done this week at all. Allergies have hit me pretty badly, so I haven’t gotten much of anything done. I knit 2 hexipuffs on Monday, and then none on Tuesday or Wednesday. I’m always a little wary to knit while groggy. I know how badly things can go wrong when I knit while just tired, but a foggy brain could be much worse. Even Rizzle’s been a little groggy lately, so we’ve been just cuddling and hanging out together on the sofa most days.
How are your projects coming along?
Sock yarn is addictive… as, it appears, are hexipuffs!
It is and they definitely are!
