V Knits

My name is Venus. I knit as much as possible, while juggling work and various other activities. Currently, my yarn sprees hinder my ability to save up for trips and other important things. But I'm not apologizing.

FO Pomatomus


Pomatomus is done! I am gifting them tomorrow.

~Stats~

Pattern:
Pomatomus by Cookie A. @ Knitty.com

Yarn:
Drops Alpcaca (100% Pure Alpaca) 200yrds/180m/50g
Color 7240 Dyelot 1

Needles:
2.25mm bamboo dpns set of 5

Pros:
Love the pattern, love the yarn. Easy to knit! Softest socks ever. I may be converting into a lover of knitting socks....

Cons:
The socks fit a little loose. She was right when she said the pattern makes for very stretchy socks. C'est la vie.


I am surprised at how fast they knitted up and that I didn't get second sock syndrome. Do you know what is even more surprising? I went and started another pair of socks. In white Drops Alpaca. Why more alpaca? Because I like knitting with alpaca. And I already know who they will be going to. My mom's friend who was thoughtful enough to send me more old-school knitting patterns.



This is the Embossed Leaves sock pattern from the Winter 2005 Interweave Knits.
I am addicted to this yarn. Addicted. Must. Buy. More.
