In the pipeline

Chances are you know that I'm not one for buying yarn for the sake of acquiring it. I usually need to have a project in mind. Then I'll get the yarn.

I've been feeling like I ought to make some more socks. It has been more than a year, after all. With that in mind I took a look in Yarn Chef's online shop and found this variegated brown yarn. Look, I'm not going to wear socks with all kinds of crazy colors in them, so this colorway seems to be pretty much perfect. It's neutral and should be versatile in terms of what it can be worn with, at least if I understand the fashion of socks and one's clothing.

Since the previous two pairs I've made haven't quite been exactly right, I'm thinking of trying to make toe up versions. Do I have a pattern in mind? No, but something simple will suffice. Do I have any idea how to knit toe up socks? I don't have a clue. I've found the yarn, though.

I can't wait to see them knit up. Check out Ann Bud's On Your Toes sock pattern. I have 2 socks knit up in it in my projects folder.

Gorgeous yarn, it's going to make great socks.

I have no idea how to knit toe-up socks either, it's on my list of things to learn this year.

Do let us know what pattern you end up using.
