Most of the sock yarn in my stash is self-striping, and I enjoy watching the stripes reveal themselves as I knit. The stripes keep me motivated, as I will pull the yarn out of the ball and challenge myself to knit just one more stripe.
Ellen gifted this ball of yarn to me, and I love the colors. Thanks again, Ellen!

| baby hat knit with scraps from Fall Harvest socks |
I decided to use the scrap yarn immediately to knit a baby hat. Only a small bit of this yarn remains, and soon it will be combined with other bits to knit another baby hat for donation.
Love those socks - and the baby hat! So pretty. Self striping yarn is a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteThat yarn goes very nicely with all your patriotic quilts. I love that colorway.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the TWO finishes.
Wonderful! The socks are very pleasing and the baby hat will make some little one warm on this never ending winter season!
ReplyDeleteI love that yarn. I never met a stripe I didn't like!

ReplyDeleteI love those socks and that baby hat is adorable. I really do love how the stripes work in the socks and the top of that hat...well, suffice it to say that I really, really like how it turned out.
ReplyDeleteI need to get some sock blockers. When I see how pretty yours photograph compared to the ones I posted yesterday, there is just no comparison.
Blessings,
