The Knitting Pirate

I am just past the gusset decreases on the Garter Rib Sock. Here it is, showing its stripy wonderfulness. This colorway should be called Mardi Gras instead of Pirate’s Booty – the greens and purples and golds are so vibrant.

And at last, the Noro Kureyon Sock Yarn is here. It took more than two months from the time I ordered it; there’s been an incredible demand for the stuff. I’ve already seen some really beautiful socks knit out of it, though I’ve heard it can be hard to get good gauge due to the thick and thin nature of the yarn. We shall see!
