So, remember how I reminded all of you to make sure you had all your supplies for Saturday’s Sock workshop………
Yeah, I just picked up my yarn last night. Drove to 3 shops to check out what each offered. This is my inspiration:
Here are the main contenders:
- Heritage By Casscade - 75% wool 25% Nylon- Lots of colors- ~$12 a hank (437 yards)
- Jill Draper Splendor- 80% wool, 10% cashmere, 10% Nylon- $28 a Hank (575 yards)
- Happy Feet- 90% wool, 10% nylon ~ $8 a Hank (192 yards)
- Hazel Knits- 90% wool, 10% nylon- ~$24 a hank (400 yards)
And Here is what I bought….
Looking forward to Saturday!
Happy Crafting!

PS. Those of you not able to attend the Sock workshop, Don’t worry… I will post all of the handouts here. I hate that we can only accommodate a small group as we are in a restaurant… Let me know you’re interested and I will try to offer it again.

Ok, I dug up the book, 2 at a time socks. But the yarn I’ve got, which I’m excited to use, is a lovely Tofutsie variegated that was a limited edition for stitches 2008. I know I have 2 balls, I just have to find the other one and maybe wind them. And find the proper needles… Ugh. I’ll be ready!
