the blue blog archives: ice blue sock

My dye-o-rama swap sock yarn is knitting up nice. There's been no major pooling and the yarn feels great. It's sport weight yarn - I'm knitting on US4s - and it really reminds me of the ArtYarns Supermerino: soft and squooshy. And it matches my blog!

I love how the colors mix. This dying thing is a great way to express our creative side.

I saw all that pretty blue and I had to delurk and say how pretty it's knitting up. Of course my favorite color is blue. Can't wait to see the finished product. :)

Really nice colors! Here's a question for you...What kind of dpns do you use? They don't look like bamboo or aluminum.

Luscious!!! It looks good enough to eat - reminds me of a blue popsicle (do they still make those?).

What lovely shades of blue! (says the sucker for blue yarn...)

Hi Alison...I was away in Florida when you got your yarn...so glad you like it! And you weren't really "picky"...just that you like what you like and believe me, I totally enjoyed dyeing this for you...it really made me think about it and I like that when I'm dyeing...always up for a challenge!

Posted by: Roxanne at June 14, 2006 12:47 PM

It looks great!

Posted by: silverarrowknits at June 14, 2006 1:05 PM

Mmmmmmm that looks luscious!

That is just beautiful! I'm jealous! I have a question though....you have inspired me to try kool aid stripy sock dyeing, do you know where one may get some "dye your own" yarn that is superwash and/or with nylon or some sort of elastic? Thanks for your time.

those blues are really great. Such subtle variation. I love that!

Posted by: Hilary at June 14, 2006 3:22 PM

Very nice. :)

Posted by: debbie at June 15, 2006 1:43 AM

it's great.

Very lovely. Nice with the plain stitch. I wonder if Roxanne used the superwash kona; I believe that's what Artyarns supermerino is made from.
