Heath's Socks
The second item I finished early in the holiday was the Heath's socks for J. This was a nice simple pattern which I could knit happily in the car or watching movies etc. The final fit is good and I knit them using Artyarns in Turquiose and Brown. I think that the pattern works well with the varigated yarn and both stand out on their own. I can't believe how fast I knit these up though, they took about a week when they should have taken two!
The yarn was fun to knit with and I hope that it wears well. I don't think it is nicer than other high end yarns and annoyingly it comes in 50g skeins which I dislike since those skeins always seem to end up more expensive somehow. I bought this yarn on sale from purlescence and I might get it again if it was on sale but the other colours didn't really float my boat in the same way as Easyknits or Socks that Rock do.
