WIP: Hedera Socks in Koi Koi

I am re-knitting the Hedera Socks I made with Blue Moon Fibers Socks that Rock Lightweight in Koi Koi. I wanted to re-knit these because not only are the legs too loose but I like the color better on the tighter gauge.

I'm a few rows shy of starting the heel! I like how the colors pooled, it reminds me of the color patterns on Koi fish.

WIP: Waving Lace Socks

I really like how these are turning out. This is a good sock for patterned yarn (not striped) as there are wide knitted areas that would show off the color changes nicely. The pattern reminds me a little of the Monkey socks my mom made me :)

I am re-doing my Hedera socks. I knitted them too loose in the calves, so not only are they slouchy but the wonderful Koi Koi pattern didn't come out either. I thought about just buying more yarn and keeping my slouchy ones for house socks, but it looks like Blue Moon Fiber Arts doesn't carry that colorway anymore :( Too bad, it's really pretty!

So Much Yarn just got a shipment of new items from Namaste. I picked up this cool knitting bag that can double as a purse. It has all kinds of neat pockets in it!

So Much Yarn just got some new lewtz from Namaste including this little container. You put things like yarn needles, place markers, scissors, or whatever small things you need to keep track of. I knit on the sofa and am always losing my small notions, so this is perfect.
