First Wildfoote done
Finished the first sock of the Wildfoote pair:
The Wildfoote yarn (by Brown Sheep Company) has a bit 'meatier' feel to it than the Regia I've been using. It feels like a warmer and more substantial sock (of course, I'm just wearing one of them.) Might be a slight bit more itchy, but I'll withhold final judgment on that until they're both done and I wear them for a day. The first week or two that I was wearing my handknit socks, all of them seemed itchy to me. Now I don't notice it at all.
This yarn tends to separate a little bit, especially if you drop a stitch and are trying to pick it up. Other than that, I enjoyed knitting with it and I will plan to use this type of yarn again someday.
Now I'm going to go get Lochinver out of the closet and see if I can make sense of it after one and one-half of my Friday night beers. I'm such a lightweight!
Hey, if you're feeling a little insecure about your knitting skills, check out this page; then you'll feel absolutely suicidal, I know I do. She knitted all of this stuff in 2003 alone.
