This was a test knit for a friend at the local yarn store-she’s set to release this pattern on the 15th, and while I finished it two weeks ago, my model and I were not in the same place until last night.
It was a fun knit, and I love the finished object. I will probably be making a few more… The contrasting touches everywhere are really nice, from the fold up cuffs to the latvian braid across the back. For all those details, the pattern is actually very straightforward and I had no problems with it at all!
The navy yarn is from Kim Dyes Yarn, in the colorway ‘string theory’, while the (sparkly) silver is Forbidden Fiber Co’s color ‘mist’. I really like both these yarns-the navy color is excellent, and the sourdough sock base is nice to work with. I’ve used it before for several pairs of mosaic socks as well. The sparkles in the grey are really nice-they’re much more subtle than a lot of other sparkle yarns, in that they aren’t candy-caned in.
