Notes

I published this design for the February Challenge in my 13 Socks in 2013 group. If you love knitting socks, come join the group! No rules or requirements to actually knit 13 pairs in 2013, but the monthly challenges, (if you choose to do them) are fun. You can post each completed pair on the corresponding #1, #1, #3, etc., threads and take your bows. You’ll learn a lot, queue tons of patterns that you might not otherwise have seen, and learn tips and tricks from other sock knitters. Come join the fun!

Oh. My. GOODNESS! I love the feel of this yarn! COtton, BAmboo and SIlk, (CoBaSi), with a tiny bit of nylon, just enough to give usually limp cotton some b-o-i-n-g. The yarn feels incredibly sturdy and at the same time soft and luscious. The stitch definition is different than wool socks, (can be a bit more warbly and definitely more defined than wool), but these fibers are warm-weather-wearable, which counts for a lot! When I first heard about this new yarn, there was not a single pair of socks knit with it on Ravelry, so I held out until I saw some reviews. But the jury is now in, and I will definitely be buying more of this wonderful yarn!
