Two FOs to post today for FO Friday. The first are my Cervina Calzetteria socks, simple stockinette, in the Naples colorway. I started these quite a while ago, and kept getting sidetracked, but now that they are done, I allowed myself to cast on sock #2 of my hand-spun socks. These socks are quite soft and comfortable to wear, and I expect them to soften even more with washing, and they have nylon in them for strength, which is a wonderful thing. I wore out the heel in my Embossed Leaves socks already — only got a few months out of them. Now I know thet my heels are rough, but come on! I ended up felting those and sewed up the heel and Rachel wears them now and they are super soft and cushy.
FO #2 I knit a few weeks ago and forgot to post, partially b/c I don’t like it! Not on me anyway. It is Calorimetry from the last issue of Knitty. I was desperate for a quick project and saw this one on this blog and did a little stash diving. I had it done with-in a day and it was rather fun and easy. Many bloggers have commented that knit as the pattern states that it comes out HUGE — and they are right! I knit mine in a DK (Jaegger Matchmaker dyed by my Jacob) on size 6’s, rather than the worsted on 8’s recommended, and it was still too big! I will say that it was a great thing to put on one’s head however when running out of the houe with wet hair thrown up in a clip! I think this suits folks with lovely curly locks much better than those with bone straight hair like myself, or folks like Mary here…
…who could model a potato sack and have the world clammoring to adopt the look. The wrap is going home to Ireland with her. (Mary is the sis of my sis-in-law, visiting from the homeland. I heart her — could you tell?)
And the lovely Sinead (the aforementioned sis-in-law) discovered an alternate use, should Mary tire of the house frau look…
Sexy, no?
You gals crack me up!!
(I did receive your email and my fingers are crossed that the liner turns up – eventually!) x
LOVE the socks!!! I can’t believe you wore a pair so much you wore the heal out already – but love the recovery of felting them for Rach! What a sexy Sinead….
Heather, those socks are beautiful! I’ve knit socks for so many others, but I’ve never had a handknit pair of my own. I know, I know… anyway, I love the colors you choose for your projects.
hee hee hee Sinead…goof
Ah, the Calorimetry is now a four-season article of clothing. Clever, that.
Great socks! And I love the little “booby cover”. Hee
No worries about the fiber, if you could hang on to it for that would be great. I can even paypal you for it and we can make the exchange the next time we meet up. I hope to be coming to IPS semi-regularly. Or if you are heading down to Plaistow or the area for any reason give me a holler. Let me know where to Paypal you and how much. Thanks!
LMAO OH how I wish I could have been there for that photo shoot!! Sinead looks like she’s a blast!
Love the socks! I’ve been wanting to make the calorimetry, but never got around to it. Now that I know it can be a stylish boob cover, maybe I will 😉
ha ha, that’s a great new use of the Calorimetry. I’m off to see if mine will fit over my boobs… somehow I think not 🙁
I like the Boob Holder pic the best! Great socks!
