Pattern: Slant by Hunter Hammersen
Yarn: Skein, Top Draw Socks - Colourway Dapple
Slant is such a great pattern for hand-dyed yarn, the stitch pattern is a little fiddly at first but, after a little practice its easy and enjoyable. These socks were made for my dear partner who kept asking for a pair of hand knit socks (which is really sweet). He chose the yarn, I chose the pattern and now he has a nice pair of hand knit socks for winter, how easy is that! (ha!). Now he has experienced how good hand knit socks are he has asked for a second pair...who wouldn't :)
I really love working small projects along side my bigger ones and lately I've been in a bit of a sock knitting mood so, as I knit away on my Larch Cardigan I also cast on Angiee

Im only half way through one sock and am so far enjoying the pattern as well as the BFL sock yarn. I've never knit with BFL before and I really like it. This yarn takes up dyes really well so there are bits of really intense colour along with the neutral tones. I should mention this is the Vita colourway which was one of the recent Sock Club colourways. Speaking of the Sock Club, tomorrow I will be busy playing around with colours for the next instalment due to be shipped on the 23rd May. Spoilers will be posted next week on the Ravelry group.
I have also been having a lot of fun (and spending way too much time) looking for a shawl pattern for the up-coming SAL (Skein-A-Long) over on the Skein Ravelry group. If your interested please come and join the group and the SAL which starts on the 1st June.
Have a wonderful week!

Love your cardi... and your socks ! I'm so looking forward to knitting socks... but i'm afraid to give it a try ☺ Next winter maybe (which gives me plenty of time to think and pick the perfect pattern). And i'm about to swatch for the upcoming SAL ☺
The socks look really beautiful - great colour !
I too am in the sock mood :D
I really like the cardi your knitting.
I can't wait to see how your Larch cardi wil turn out, and that Vita colorway is gorgeous!
I also like to work on small projects alongside the big ones... knitters need instant gratification!
I love an appreciative sock partner.. I made a pair for my husband, and they sit in the drawer untouched. I don't think he even recognises them as being the same as the things he puts on every day for work. It's a running joke round here.
