The yarn is Online Supersocke 100 Tropic-color #929. I'm knitting the socks on a 2.50 (US 1) 40" circular needle. Thanks, Brenda, for letting me know your favourite needle length (32"). I tried the 32" this morning as well as the 40". I think I prefer the 40", but that's still up for experimentation.
And now, just because the day turned out to be quite nice, here are a couple of pics taken around the yard (within the last half hour).
The cherry tree is right outside my computer room window. Those cherries are almost ripe; they're not the deep purple Bing cherries. They are a pale coloured cherry and they're going to be good; I've already had a couple.
And now, back to knitting.

Mmmm Cherries. That is definitely one tree I want to plant once G and I get some land of our own.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Hi Ev...I've always wondered just how many "small" socks you could get out of 100 gm. Be sure to let us know. My grand daughter is almost 3 but since she lives in Florida I can't knit socks for her :o( I've also wondered if you could get 2 pair of mittens from a 100gm ball of sock yarn. Maybe one adult pair and one childs pair. I'll have to try that after I finish the 50 other projects I have going!
ReplyDeletefor what it's worth, I know you can get three adult mittens from one skein of Cascade 220 if you use EZ's 36 stitch mitten pattern :) You even have enough left to knit an i-cord to button to each mitten. The friend I made them for has a bad habit you see :)
ReplyDeleteThose socks are really cool :) I'm afraid I don't know how many you can get out of the b all of yarn though...
ReplyDeleteA cherry tree...sigh...
I'd be jealous except that I know keeping the birds, etc. away from the fruit is a major pain.
The cherries look like Rainier cherries. My favourite, very sweet.
