Yes, I admit it, I have a problem. I really only want to knit socks. I am not sure how this happened, but I can't get them out of my mind. I love knitting socks, there I said it. I am sure no on is suprised I am back on the sock kick.

 I recently got a chance to test some new socks yarn for Allison's new store. It is from the yarn pirate, and I love it. I just mail off the sample sock to Allison, and I miss them already.

I knit these as a sample for her store, out of the Paris color way. This yarn is thinner than louet based sock yarns and has a tight twist. And is softer than str lightweight. There doesn't seem to be any pilling or fuzz either. I knit these in my basic sock pattern, 2 at a time, from the cuff down. I  even wrote out the pattern for here to give out with this yarn.

I loved this yarn so much I ordered more from Yahaira. This color is called Culture Club, and it is so fun! I started with a picot cuff. These will be come anklets with afterthought heels, something new I wanted to try. I think the heels and toes are going to be grey. Can you tell I am a little excited about these! I decided to make ankles because I have more than enough yarn to make another full sized pair of socks, I just need some instant gratification!
