Bought some yarn today :) The producer is Viking Garn. I have never heard of them before, but after looking them up it seems they have been around for quite some time. The yarn feels soft and is going to become knee socks. It was cheap to, about 3 US dollars for a ball, that is a very low price in Norway anyway :)
The four to the left is sock yarn and the one to the right is baby wool. The baby wool is 100% merino and the sock yarn is 80% wool and 20% nylon. I bought the baby wool just on a whim, so I don’t know what it will become :) But I’m looking forward to casting one my knee socks, even thou these will be plain ribbing :)
I think there is too few knee socks patterns out there. At knitty.com only one out of about forty patterns for your feet are knee socks. And if you search the nett in general you get tons of sock patterns but no knee socks. I find that a bit depressing since i love knee socks. Not that I actually am any good knitting after patterns, but I like to look at them for inspiration. And I want knee sock inspiration! Does anybody out there know of some good knee sock inspiration……
