I am really excited about March's draw for the Solo Sock Club. I was SO excited that I cast on and knit for quite a while before it occurred to me to take a picture of the yarn to post on the blog. Facepalm.
This is how the yarn looked before I lost control and cast on. The bottom set is closest to these colors.
The yarn is Bashful Gradient Dyed Cupcakes, which was previously sold under Bashful Bags and Fibers. I followed a link to their etsy page, but it doesn't appear that they still have any active listings. If you really want to get your hands on some, you might get lucky and find a stashed set on ravelry with which someone would be willing to part.
For this yarn, I really want to use up every little bit of that scrumptious color. I've opted for a toe-up pattern, Laxo Socks.
Using a toe-up pattern means that I can keep knitting until all the yarn is used up, ensuring I get all of that lovely color worked into my project. I can't wait to see how these ones turn out. Since I already have a head-start on March, I will likely have these finished well before the month ends.
A wicked good blog about homestead happenings in the shadow of Mount Katahdin, Maine. Many ramblings are sure to happen here, including, but not limited to, knitting, sewing, chickens, gardening, canning, freeze drying, general homestead wanna-be stuff (you can be a homesteader with just chickens, right?!?), and any other activities that manage to capture my short little attention span at the time.
