Here it is, April 9th and I am still spinning for this months socks. The spinning has been difficult. Because I want to keep long color repeats, I only split the braid into five pieces. Five thick pieces that make spinning fine yarn slow, and not as even as I would like.
I have almost finished the singles, but I have all that chain plying. Will I finish in time? I may have to make an executive decision about this yarn and the two pair of socks I plan to knit with it.
Sparrow is coming right along.
The yarn is leftover from the Desdemona and Simple Shawls. I had two giant skeins of this yarn because I love the color so much. Sparrow is going to use it all up.
Look at the little side gussets. There is an eyelet row running along each side that will open up with blocking. Eventually I am going to need to chose buttons. What do you think? Simple, matching, contrast, metal...?
