134
134
I have enough yarn for 134 pais of socks!! No way am I going to calculate how long I have to stay alive to knit them! I should be knitting now instead of typing this.
After Jess came over last Thursday and peeped at my sock yarn stash, I decided today, that I should try and count how much I have, how much it cost *shudder* and while at it I should probably write it down.
Been hunting the Sullivan's sock yarn, which I happily found whilst on holidays last week. Am currently knitting the pink,black,orange colourway and really like the colours. It is on the thin side though and so I am using 2mm instead of 2.5mm needles. I have the opportunity to purchase this direct from the company, in packs of 10, but am unsure then of how to offload the excess? Etsy maybe?? Not sure, still thinking about this.
No points for guessing my next project ;P

Currently working on...
Jenny Wren socks
Yarn: The Knittery Merino Cashmere Sock yarn
Needles: Addi Turbo 2.5mm
Mods: 70 sts, incorporated pattern into my sock recipe, Eye of Partridge heel.
This is slow going as it is at a tighter gauge than I am used to and the needles are have been rubbing my hands. But still an enjoyable knit. These are the first socks that I have knit that have a pattern, and continue said pattern down the foot! Ooh what a wild, reckless knitter I am becoming. I have knit ribbed before but not cables. I prefer to let the colours of the yarn shine through. This is a very simple pattern and I love it.
Photo of completed Crayon socks, not sure if I blogged these finished before, here they are anyway. I added some length to the foot and they are now comfy.
Still really enjoying knitting socks and have stash dived and rounded up all of my sock yarn. Oh my!
I have 2 very big tubs of sock yarn, this really needs to be knit up and I must stop buying sock yarn.
