In other news (aka knitting) I wrote yesterday that I was planning on starting a new pair of socks with this lovely yarn.
Well I did,
And this is the result. Pretty no? The only thing is, it's way too big. The size 1's called for are meant for a much tighter knitter then me....So I swatched with zeroes....No dice.
So then I HAD To go to my favorite LYS (Cultured Pearls) and buy some smaller needles. I got gauge...On 000, that's triple lot folks! You know what I have to say to that? BRING IT!
And then, I saw this,
Yup that's more Claudia, in the Caribbean Blue colorway...And it just seemed so right for the pattern..........So...........I bought it. And I am now going to do the Elfine socks in this colorway..I think it goes better with the "elf" theme, and I just LOVE IT!
Don't worry about Oops though, she's going back in the stash for now...But I got plans for her. =)

Hey Melanie, I met you at Cultured Purls on Sat. I like your blog! I am so glad that you liked the sock yarn and will check back to see your progress. The link to my blog is below. I am a very bad blogger right now.........
Anyway, it was nice to chat with you - keep in touch!
love both yarns and thanks for the comment on the not so shrunken, i know you'll love it too!
Such pretty yarn! I wish I hadn't made a personal anti-sock declaration (just can't go back on it now!)
Hope you post some picks of your progress on the Fair Isle U-Neck :) I love seeing the colour combinations people do. Thanks for visiting my blog - yours is great too!
