too yummy to resist

koigu!


i think it's been pretty well established that i have cheated on my diet with multiple offenses, but ... at least when i've done so, it was for a worthy yarn!

my latest offense? koigu ....

my LYS finally received their long awaited shipment of koigu. i saw it all spread out across a table. when i see koigu like this, it's even easier to fall for colors i wouldn't normally go for. i picked up 2 hanks each of three colorways for socks. please remind me sometime to take a picture of all the socks i've abandoned in the past few months ...! and, i cast on for sockbug's river rapids socks.

i have knitted socks from her site before ...

scallops sock 2


the picture above was a progress shot of the first of the lacy scallops socks. no shame here, i did finish the pair! ... and these too were knitted with koigu !

Wow! Fantastic colors of Koigu!!! Do you know which colorways those are? I'm planning on casting on for some River Rapid socks soon too!

Okay, back to snooping around your blog!
