Socks

I needed to knit yesterday.  I needed to knit as if spring was right inside my little knitting world.  The problem was that every project I took out was not right.  

I thought for sure the Staffin would be right.  Something new and different but no.  I took out the London Fog but no.  I looked at all the socks and none of it felt right.  I looked at my bag of sock yarns and thought maybe?  

And then this happened.  It was truly delightful.  A pair of basic work socks and my soul is filled.

I started knitting a pair of socks in stash yarn in similar colours a while ago but I was really not satisfied with the yarns.  My main green yarn was too different in weight from the Kroy I was using for the toes.  It was just wrong.  When I ordered this yarn

 to make a Flea for me since my first one had a gauge issue,  (The first can be seen going about cheerfully around Saskatoon.) I also bought this yarn.  

Drops Fiesta.  A really nice Dk weight yarn that is perfect for socks.  

I made a pair of socks last year from it and have leftovers but not enough for more socks.  It seemed right to pick up more Fiest and then, after making my planned socks in this new yarn, could make another pair with the everything that remains.  

So I started another pair of socks.  I have lots of sock yarns and socks on the go but a good pair of socks on 3.25 mm Dpns just what I needed. Yesterday was just the right sort of day for new green socks.  

Today I will go back to knitting on the London Fog.  It's sleeves won't take long if I stick to it and maybe, just maybe, I will have a new sweater to wear next week.
