Sock Mania

At the knitting guild meeting on Tuesday, we were informed that the Hook N Needle, our only lys, was going to have sock yarn on sale this week. They had 3 baskets of marked down sock yarn which I couldn't resist. The 100 gm skeins were $5.00 and the 50 gm skeins were $3.50.

Shortly after I arrived home the Sundara sock yarn was delivered by the mail man. Mom chose the green for socks to go with a sweater she has.


Sock Haul:

8 skeins ONline Supersocke Fun (1 each for mom and me)
2 skeins Regia 4fadig Jacquard Color
2 skeins Regia Multi Effekt Color
2 skeins Opal Regenwald
3 skeins Socka 50
6 skeins Sundara Sock Yarn

It's taken me few days to get my knitting rhythm with the River stole. I would get a few rows completed and realize something was off, rip and re-knit. Things are on track now and this is will be my at home knitting project. The planned finish date is the end of June. The River Lace II chart is the main body of the stole and repeats 28 times over 16 rows. I need to knit at least 1 repeat per day.

The Rachel cardigan is as mindless as the socks. The sweater is a modified drop shoulder and I'm almost ready to work the armholes for the back. Temperatures have started hitting the 90's and this will make a nice cardigan to wear in the evening if the temp gets a little cooler.
