We started a new KAL at the shop this weekend! Well, technically 2 but we didn't really
announce it ahead of time and I never actually cast on the second one. But I did get started on my
All the Shades of Truth scarf!
Here's what I'm using for the project:
 |
| Madelinetosh Sock in Graphite |
 |
| Madelinetosh Sock in Paper |
 |
| Shibui Knits Sock in Midnight |
 |
| Shibui Knits Sock in Ink |
I'm using my
Chiaogoo US 6 needles for this project to get gauge. Typically, being a loose knitter, I have to go down at least one size needle. But I actually had to go
up a needle size to get gauge. And, yes, I did gauge for this project. Mine is coming out a little denser feeling than another KAL participant who is using the TML it calls for, but I'm good with what I've got so far :o)
I actually accomplished this
entirely from stash! Shocking, I know! The Ink Shibui came from a frogged pair of knee socks from about 3 years ago (1 UFO taken care of so far). The Paper madTOSH is leftovers from a Christmas present (and therefore not counting in using up 14 skeins of sock yarn stash- that has to be 100g skeins, but I am counting using up both those Shibui colors). Yay for working towards
my 2014 goals!
