Yeah, I started another one! What can I say...I loved the pattern and the yarn from this month's Rockin' Sock Club. I wasn't sure how well the pattern would show up in the yarn because the yarn has so many wonderful shades of purple and gray—it would be a shame to hide them in the pattern.
I decided to make the pattern in another Socks That Rock Lightweight that I had in my stash...this is Turquoise. So far I love the combination!
As for the club yarn, I think I'm going to use Eleanor by Monkey Toes [Ravelry]. I've had the pattern in my queue for a while and I think it will work well. I tried a Sundara sock pattern that I had from my Petals Collection club, but like the Rockin' Sock Club pattern, it had too many elements that hid the beauty of the yarn.
Going into time out for a little bit are the Stranded Hearts Socks. I need to figure out which way to do the gusset. I tried the double-moss stitch version for a few rows and quickly got lost in the "purl the purls; knit the knits/purl the knits; knit the purls" instructions. I may make it easy on myself and just do the plain stockinette version.
At least with all these WIPs, I'm staying out of trouble! (LOL!)
