May Sock Club

I was super excited to see what was inside the May 2024 Solo Sock Club bag. I loved this yarn when I first received it, and it may have been the first skein I reached for when curating my 2024 Solo Sock Club. Extra special bonus for this month - this company is still in business, and you can get your hands on this very same skein of yarn today. The yarn for May is from Black Trillium Fibers Lilt Sock yarn in the Hedwig colorway.

Yet again, I have paired this with a vanilla sock pattern so that the speckles would show well. I'm not entirely sure that this was necessary, but I do enjoy a good knit that I can work on without referring to a pattern, and this one fits the bill. Leave a comment if you would like me to write up a pattern for my vanilla socks. There were 6 bags out of 12 assigned to be vanilla sock patterns, so there are only 2 more remaining for 2024; there are 5 remaining patterns for which I will work from a pattern and will share a link for each respective one.

I am thoroughly enjoying the Lilt sock yarn base. It makes a delightful fabric. The fiber content is 85% superwash merino wool and 15% mulberry silk. This would also make a great yarn for any next-to-skin projects, such as scarves or shawls. Stay tuned to see my finished socks!

April Solo Sock Reveal

Another month in the books! I did complete my April socks. As a reminder, the yarn was Fiber Addiction's Delusional base in the Runner #5 colorway. Here is the finished product:

These were knit using my vanilla socks pattern. Leave a comment below if you would like me to write up and share the pattern. Stick with me on the sock club. Half of the sock patterns are vanilla socks. I have my husband choose the bags at random, and I know we have been rather vanilla-sock-pattern heavy so far this year, but that just means that things will get more exciting as we continue. I will have some great patterns to share and amazing socks to show off.

As you may notice from the photo for the April socks, it appears that the skein of Delusional was a bit bright-green-heavy at the beginning of the skein. The legs of the two socks look considerably different. Given that they are "Zombie socks," I think it works well. I'm not sure you could expect zombies to putrefy at the same rate as one another. I'm going to chalk this up to creative license and label it as charming. I have cracked into the May yarn and started those socks...stay tuned, and I will have an update in a few days showing you the amazing yarn and what socks I have planned. Cheers!
