Retro Rib socks
Pattern: Retro Rib by Evelyn A Clark, from Favorite Socks: 25 Timeless Designs from Interweave. Yarn: The Knittery 4ply merino/cashmere; shade – waterlilies.
I love this yarn; it’s so warm and cosy. Although it’s officially spring today, we’ll still have plenty of cool days to wear these.
And speaking of yarn, this was the other lot of yarn I bought in San Francisco:
Ginko bamboo/silk yarn
It’s from ArtFibers, and is 87% bamboo, and 13% silk. I’m not sure exactly what it’s going to be yet, but I think I might weave it, maybe in a point twill or similar, with a plain contrast silk.
That’s a good mix of pattern and yarn. There’s just enough pattern and just enough color variation that they work together beautifully.
I think I might cast on my artfibres yarn this week. It’s soooooooooo tempting!
