I have written that if I am going to participate in SKA’s monthly challenge, I have to use a pattern that I own or is already in my Ravelry Queue or Favorites. Plus, and I don’t think I have mentioned this, I must use yarn I have purchased and only one pair of socks on the needles at any one time.
So what happened in May?
I decided I didn’t like the challenges for May and cast on a sock at the end of April so I would have socks to work on in May. But, I saw the start of the Mystery sock, decided I liked it and cast on with yarn from my friends big destash. (All three rules broken. LOL.)
In this pattern there was something going on in every row – purls, knits, slipped stitches, cables, bobbles, as well as alternating colours, - as some concentration was required I put them aside in June to complete other projects and then there wasn't a rush to finish them as August is the finish all your socks challenge.
The pattern is The Old Vine, the pink yarn is Miss Babs Tarte and the dark yarn is from A Whimsical Wood Yarn Co.
