38 Skeins of Vesper Sock Yarn blog size

I’ve been doing some reorganizing and rearranging of my yarn stash and will post details and pictures of the whole project soon but in the meantime, here’s a picture of my collection of Knitterly Things Vesper Sock Yarn. 38 skeins, in case you are counting. That’s a lot of yarn, my friends.

Maybe I should knit some socks this weekend, eh? Have a good one!

    I had to embiggen the picture, because it’s so delicious. YUM.

    Just what I was thinking… better get to knitting some beautiful socks! Nice pic.

    That’s not a collection, that’s an art installation. Beautiful!

    That’s an impressive collection! Pretty, pretty!

    I like what Debbie said – maybe my new screen saver?

    Consider knitting a Willow Cowl with your most favorite! It only takes one skein of sock yarn, looks great on everybody, and the cowl can be worn indoors or out! It’s one of my favorites (along with the Lacy Baktus).

    Looks like a lot of fun to me.

    See the skein third from the right on the upper left? You could send it to me! JK
    What a glorious collection! You have so much potential for not only socks, but so many other good knits, too.

    If you want to make Rainbow socks with some of that self-striping yarn, I can send you notes on the pattern works. I’m about to finish my second pair.

    The countdown to the big return continues for you and me and our girls. Have a great weekend, too.

    I’ve been watching the yarn harlot with her self-imposed sock club thing for the past few months… this is my knitting goal for 2011: knit 1 pair of socks per month from my stash.

  12. Dinah says

    November 19, 2010 at 8:32 am

    Holy Stash…I thought I was bad!

  13. Jeannie says

    November 19, 2010 at 8:37 am

    I guess one could guess that you are a fan of Vesper Yarn! Maybe you should
    start a sock kal in January – December with your favorite pattern which is
    simple and easy and that way encourage everyone to knit a pair a month!!
    Lovely collection.

    hmmm…too bad you don’t have a sock machine. ;o)

    I’m working on a pair of socks with Vesper sock yarn now! Love those stripes!

    Have you seen the new “One Skein Wonders” book of projects for sock yarn? I am really not that whipped aobut the other “One Skein” books, but this one is a winner, IMHO. There are some beautiful scarves, mittens, socks (!), and even a cute doggie sweater.

  18. Kelly says

    November 19, 2010 at 9:35 am

    Oh my stripey goodness!!! I always loved their colourways but could never seem to get my hands on any. You’ll have fun knitting that lot up!

  19. Cathy R says

    November 19, 2010 at 9:46 am

    Oh, my. How PRETTY! You just kind of want to dive in there and roll around for a bit, don’t you. Don’t you??

    OK, maybe it is just me.

    I’m not sure I’ve ever encountered Vesper sock yarn, so I will have to add it to my search list.

    Thanks for the lovely photo and have a great weekend.

    Yowza! There are so many gorgeous colors. How will you ever pick which to knit first?? I’m partial to that skein near the bottom left. Looks like some Christmas socks! Play Hard!!

  25. elizabeth says

    My favorite kind of eye candy! Yep – you got me beat in the sock yarn category. It’s so nice to have the stash around though. You can go shopping at a moments notice in your very own “store”.

    Enjoy some sock knitting!

  29. Patty says

    November 19, 2010 at 1:27 pm

    Oh, my. That is some serious eye candy.

    I thought I was something because I have ONE skein of Vesper.

    What a shame you don’t have a beloved friend with a sock machine. ;^)

    Oh my goodness; I am smitten. You have such a wonderful eye for color! And what IS that colorway in the upper-right corner?

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
