Some Places to Visit…
While I’m gone and not posting as often I have some places that you might enjoy…
Firstly, I was fortunate to win the sock yarn for being an early design submission designer to Sock Madness. The yarn won was from Scout’s Swag. I sent pictures and Scout and I corresponded a bunch and this is the gorgeous yarn she custom dyed for me! I’m afraid it is a one-off color. However, she was amazing to work with and I can’t recommend her enough if you want a custom colorway. Even if you don’t feel creative to come up with your own color scheme she has some pretty great colorways that you can order as well.
I also got some great sock yarn from Miss Lime and Miss Violet of the famous Lime ‘n Violet podcast. Etsy was giving me fits, but Miss V worked with me to get the colorway I wanted - Jubilation. Isn’t it just gorgeous!?!? It seems like it’ll be a great pair of socks for late winter knitting. They aren’t too falsely springy bright, but they remind me that spring is indeed on its way. Again, I have to say it was a pleasure to do business with Lime ‘n Violet.
Alas, I am a tad afraid that I won’t do either of these lovely yarns justice. But I know eventually I’ll get enough of fondling them and photographing them and will get out the needles. Plus, a few of these shots would also make great wallpaper for my computer so I can always enjoy them both in their skein form.
