Sproutling
Isn’t this gorgeous?
It’s Velvet Sock yarn from Three Irish Girls and the colour is Sproutling, which i think is a real delight of a name! It’s 100% merino and it’s GORGEOUS!!!
I’m trying out a new sock pattern with it – Vintage Quilt Socks by Judy Sumner, which is one of the patterns in 10 Secrets of the Laidback Knitters, which I blogged about the other day. See, I told you you needed to buy that book. Unfortunately I don’t have a great photo of these socks to show you, so you’ll have to wait to see how they progress. All I can say is that how can socks called Vintage Quilt socks be anything other than drop dead perfect? They have to be, right? Two of my favourite things combined.
Mind you, Vintage Quilt Gin and Tonic Cadbury’s Chocolate socks might be even better….

Ooooh! That yarn is yummy! (:
I’m interested to see what knitted socks that have the word “quilt” in them look like!

Lovely colour – can’t wait to see how it knits up. I bought some wool the other day and am going to start on a pair of socks using the magic loop technique which I finally figured out – dead easy once you get the hang of it.
Enjoy your weekend – it is Thanksgiving here in Canada and for once we have great weather – one more thing to be thankful for.

Beautiful colour. I can imagine myself in a jumper that colour, but since it’s sock yarn I suppose it doesn’t work.
