January Finish

Finished socks! Yarn is Prism Saki and Froehliche Wolle Blauband. Men's size 14 wide. Saki had 430 yds and then I used about 100 yds of Blauband.

Socks in progress
Motley Jesters made from leftovers and beads. So far there are 5 yarns in the sock. I may need more for the foot.

Scarf started
As a Guild Holiday gift, I received two balls of Noro Matsuri, a Cotton Wool blend. It will become a Multidirectional Diagonal Scarf. Yes, those are glass knitting needles.

52 Week Challenge - Brenda






Jan. 23/09 - Just completed my Noro Kureyon Sock Yarn - Feather & Fan Scarf, total 456 yards (420 Metres) I posted the in progress photo on my earlier post. I still have one full skein of this yarn, don't know what I will make with that yet. The colour repeats are long, and although this is Noro Sock Yarn, I'm not sure I would like to do socks with it. It is a single ply wool yarn, goes from thread thin in one spot to almost worsted bulkiness within inches. Makes for a nubby look as you can see on the close up picture. I don't think this would feel very comfortable in a sock. Perhaps the other ball will become a hat or wrist warmers.

So now it is on to my next project, socks I think. Hope to get another project completed for January.
