Finally, progress on the Drops Tube Socks.
Although I've got to come up with a new name since they are no longer tube socks. I did, in the end, decide to put in a short row heel. I'm also only going to put the pattern on the top side of the foot so the sole is nice and smooth.
Jaywalkers in Jack.
I'm so thrilled with how this yarn is knitting up. I fell in love with it when I dyed it and am even more smitten by it knitted up. And this pattern is great. I can see why so many people have knit these.
I spent my weekend dyeing. Here's 5 skeins of Patons Classic Merino Wool, originally Winter White, dyed up for the Mr. Greenjeans sweater.
I had some issues with this yarn. Originally it was too bright.
So I overdyed it with a small amount of black and brown dye. Now it's perfect.
I also dyed up the last of my sock yarn for my friend's shop.
From left to right: Americana, After the Rain, and Shire. I'm going to have to dye up another Shire for myself, love those colors!
