Ravelry



Entries in yarn (6)

I Can't Decide

I've decided to participate in Sockdown: Ravelry! for the month of January.  I need to use up the tubs of sock yarn I have try to keep the construction of a pair of socks under two years.

January's theme is beaded socks, socks from an online magazine, or a mystery sock pattern by Emmie.  I really don't care for beads on my socks and I didn't want to deal with the uncertainty of a mystery pattern this time.  I'll be travelling in early January.

Searching through the internets has led me to the Licorice Stick Socks from Twist Collective.  It's in many Ravelry queues, but no one has started a pair yet.  For you Ravelers, the pattern link is here.

I pulled my sock yarn tubs out of the closet and started throwing sock yarn all over the bed.  I can't just look at photos of my yarn, I need to touch it and see it for myself.  I've narrowed it down to five...which one should I use?

1.  Yarn Pirate in 'Hard Cider'.  This was the "Booty" Club for last September.

2.  Socks That Rock Lightweight in 'Lenore' from the Rockin' Sock Club.

3.  Brooks Farm Acero in a denim colorway.  There isn't a specific color name on the tag.  I purchased this at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival.

4.  Dream In Color Starry in 'Tea Party'.  This was purchased at The Loopy Ewe.

5.  Dream In Color Starry in 'Dusky Aurora'.  This was also purchased at The Loopy Ewe.

I can't decide.  It takes me ten minutes just to decide what to eat at a fast food joint.
