I've cast on a new pair of socks to have in my bag to take with me wherever I go. I hate not having an easy project to have with me.

Yarn - Verandah Yarns, merino silk, colourway Mr Darcy.

Pattern - Simple SKYP socks

For - The Love Of My Life.

The last pair of SKYP socks I knitted for him got washed and dried in a hotel laundry and now they are more like felt booties. Sadness.

These ones will be glorious, the colour is dusty dark blue and gorgeous, and the yarn itself is soft and a bit slinky thanks to the shiny silk. A joy to knit with.
