Call of Koigu

| | Comments (4)

I picked up a few hanks of Koigu a couple weeks back and I just wasn't able to stop myself from casting on with it yesterday. I started another pair of socks on 2 circs. Very basic - 1 inch of ribbing and then straight stockingnette. I chose a short row heel. Here's where I am:

I got very lucky in how well the heel color matches the pink in the variegated. I picked that up on Thursday at Pins and Needles in Princeton. They have a great selection of Koigu and Kersti. Can you believe that's the only yarn I bought there that day?

I love it that your positives and negatives both include thoughts of knitting -- naturally!

Kevin and I looked in Hoboken when we were first married. It is a fun city. I hope you find the right town. Being a NYer, we grew up with an attitude against Jersey but Kevin has shown me a whole different side.
