Wednesdays Are For Knitting: April Socks

May 14, 2014 By Carole

The only thing I’m knitting these days is socks. Oh, and I did knit a dishcloth on Frank Harlow Day. But that’s it. Well, wait. I finished a Chevron Scarf a couple of weeks ago and I haven’t shown it to you yet. But still – right now – only socks. Work is stressful, there’s been lots of socializing and traveling and, while I have certainly been knitting, I haven’t been knitting anything new. Or challenging.

That doesn’t mean, however, that what I’ve been knitting hasn’t actually been pretty awesome.

april socks for carole knits

Like these new socks in Vesper Sock Yarn by Knitterly Things, now with 5 (5!!!) stripes. This color is called Electric Revolution and it’s fantastic.

april sock tops for carole knits

So bright and cheerful and so perfectly matchy-match from the tops.

To the legs.

april sock feet for carole knits

To the feets.

I don’t know how Julia does it but I’m awfully glad that she does.

Also – a public service announcement – my friend and photographer extraordinaire, Gale, is having a giveaway on her blog for a weekend of classes at A Gathering of Stitches in Portland, ME. Go here and read Gale’s blog post and then go here and enter to win. Good luck!

    I am charmed by your stripe-y socks! (I think it’s the grey in the midst of the brights. . .) Maybe even enough to knit a pair for myself. . .

    Love the socks!! Your stitches are perfect!
    I have some Vesper, but no sock mojo.
    If only I could be in Maine for the class.

    Was the matching intentional or serendipitous? The socks look amazing!

    The socks are so cheerful! I love stripe making yarn. I need some! I don’t know about you but I keep knitting just to see the colors change. Yes. Easily amused. 😉

    Along with predicting and/or controlling the future and/or weather, I’d like to master, it would be really great to travel quickly through time and/or space. Heh. Oh, to be in Maine!!
    🙂

    My sock mojo left the building ages ago, but those stripes! Julia is a wiz.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
