Pixie Purls Knitting & Spinning

the internet is good for the economy

Being fairly pissy with my crap sock yarn I decided to indulge myself in something fancy

It's not solid but I can't let a good knitting internet fad pass me by now can I? I am thinking though I will get some Lorna's Lace one day for solid socks, or maybe some of the Knit Picks cheaper stuff. I need to find a good solid sock yarn that I LIKE!

I also ordered the Magic Loop Booklet so I can learn how to do that tricksy sock knitting stuff.

I love the Magic Loop! If I'd known about this technique earlier, I would have save some major $$ buying one length circs.

I like Lorna's Laces yarn for socks. The solid colors are nice. I'm hoping to catch up on projects so I can join your Solid Socks KAL.

Ooh, where did you get those from?

Koigu makes solid sock yarn. Knitpicks, too. You can't go wrong with either.

You are gonna LOVE Magic Loop! I do, at least. I'm making good progress on my 2nd pair of solid socks, maybe I'll be able to post progress later - It's not that impressive looking at the moment - because of doing 2 at once =) but I'm getting there!

Hey! Yep I'm north of atlanta too.. near cartersville. We should get together and knit sometime! :)
