Wingspan, Part I



I have two skeins of Classic Elite Alpaca Sox yarn that absolutely refuse to become socks. They pool, they gap, they otherwise cry and carry on in all sorts of ways. So, they are becoming Wingspans instead. I finished the first one last night, and cast on the second one this morning. They are, indeed, a pleasurable and addictive knit!

Wingspan is so totally cool! The link to Ravelry shows some amazing variations--what an excellent use of sock yarn, especially if it seems unwilling to become socks. Both colorways look great.

This is a great pattern, and very inspiring. How did you happen upon it?

Lately I have been checking out the popular patterns on the Ravelry site (go to Ravelry -Patterns, then see the "Hot Right Now" section). Wingspan has been in the top 10 for some time, so it caught my attention there. When the yarn refused to be socks, I knew it was a done deal!

Colorful Booties and Socks

It is the Year of Colorwork, but mostly what I've done so far is produce a few color ful items!  I've been making this baby bootie pattern for years, mostly from leftover sock yarns.  This particular yarn is what remained from last fall's Flamewalker Socks .  That these booties stand up all by their jaunty selves makes them particularly appealing. These are  Crazy For You socks.  They haven't told me yet exactly whom they are crazy for , but I'll let them ponder that for a while.  It appears I may have caught a bit of Knitting New England's Tangerine Tango  with all of these orangey colors!
