September’s inspiration came from a last splash of summer….some lime and some cool blues…and even black for contrast.
For fiber, I have this great merino top with black tencel blended in streaks. I added the greens and blues, and love the depth this combination makes. Spin from the fold to keep the two fibers together.
The yarn is Journey, a 4ply Superwash Merino and nylon blend. This has been dyed in two matching striped 50g hanks. I’ve been toying with ways to get the sock blank look without actually knitting the yarn up and making those annoying kinks. Let me know what you think once you’ve knit this up!
October Club just went out the door yesterday (yes, this reveal is soooo tardy….we’ve had a wedding and a funeral and the usual crazy busy fall stuff, so yup, I dropped the ball on the blog. *Sigh*). If you’ve been thinking about joining, November 1 is the time!. I will not be opening the club in December so that I can have it dyed and ready to ship ahead of time….the family likes having me around for Christmas!
