Tourmaline Socks

This pattern is from the Journal 004, Angora Merino by Regia. It is pattern R0113 Socks With Cables. I used String Theory Caper Sock in Tourmaline. This yarn is beautiful. The colors are why I bought it. It is also super soft being a blend of merino, cashmere and nylon...BUT...it had way too many breaks (no less than 4) so is definitely not worth the price paid in my opinion.

Zigzag Poncho

This pattern is from the book Handknit Holidays by Melanie Falick. I substituted the yarn specified in the pattern with Hayfield Bonus Aran Tweed in the colourways: Fisher, Berry, Honeycomb, Galway and Beach. It's a bit crazy on the pastel side but it will be super cozy in winter!

Golden Dahlia pattern from the book Joy of Sox. I did a long tail cast on with size US3 DPNs. Rest of sock made with US2 DPNs. Yarn is Adriafil Avantgarde. Pattern definitely looks like butterflies. It took me a long time to finish because I kept losing my place--each sock has its own special mistake ;-P Very light and lacy tho in this yarn.
