Thank You to everyone who stopped by and left a note about my Lenten Rose socks. And now on to the next pair… 🙂
I bought this yarn last December, eyeing it every time I looked at my stash. When the Spring IK arrived in the mail, it was put aside for a month. Just wasn’t ready for all the spring looks – except for the socks. An issue with two amazing sock patterns! I love Eunny Jang’s Entrelac Socks – I’ve never tried entrelac, so those will definitely be a future knit. (With much thought about what two yarns to use.) The moment I saw Roza’s Socks by Grumperina, I knew the pattern would be a perfect match for the minty Brooklyn Handspun Signature sock yarn in my stash.

This Signature yarn is so soft – love the tight twist and comes in a generous 480 yards. I’m using Lantern Moon five inch ebony 2.25 mm dpns from Knit-Purl (they only show the 7 inch on their web site, but at the time they were out of stock and said they had the five inch sox stix, so I opted to try them out.) I prefer knitting socks with dpns, but I always find it hard casting on all those stitches with out twisting. (It’s probably just me, but the needles bounce and twist when I cast on dpns.) Lately, I’ve been casting on all the stitches to a circular needle and then transferring them to the dpns.

Solid, minty colour, plays well with this beautiful pattern.
