Bright New Socks
This is Drops Fabel in Blue Lagoon, something I wouldn't know if I hadn't just gone through and written the names on all of the skeins. I learned the hard way that trying to figure out color names ten years after buying the yarn isn't easy, even with Ravelry.
Not long after I took the top picture, I started to think that I wanted something with more exciting stripes. I love that nearly solid blue, but I'll love it more if I use it for something with a bit of lace or cables. So I pulled my needles free which, at least in theory, leaves the option of picking up the stitches where I left off.
And now I'm making these, in Drops Fabel Sea Mist.

Hard choice to make, but I think I like the top one just a *smidge* better. =) Lovely that you can knit socks!
ReplyDeleteBoth are nice! Kudos to you for going toe up; I really find that way difficult.
ReplyDeleteI really like both yarns. It would be a hard choice for me. I really love your round tub of choices too. What makes such a pretty picture of color.
ReplyDeleteDo you like Drops yarns? I have recently found their website and found a sweater pattern and yarn on sale there. Do you recommend it? Love th sock colors
