I finished knitting a pair of handspun socks this week.
They are toe-up socks, knit two-at-a-time on a long 2.75mm circular needle. 52 stitches with a gusset and half handkerchief heel.
I dyed the fibre following recipe/instructions from the Craftsy class Next Steps in Yarn Dyeing with Sarah Eyre. She calls the colour way Rhinebeck.
The fibre-
The yarn-
Knit up -
1x2 rib for the leg-
I really love the colour way. This was a new way of dyeing fibre for me, also different colours that I would have never thought to put together, that really blended well to create great secondary colours.
I also spun and dyed a few more skeins of yarn for the crochet blanket.
It is 15" long now.
I finished washing and combing the rest of the second raw fleece for this blanket! One skein spun and more waiting to be plied and spun. I think that this will be all the fibre I need for the blanket.
This is the latest block for the 1880 Sampler Sew Along from the Temecula Quilt Company.
All the best!♥︎
