The mighty oak

I needed another knit on the needles so I dug deep into the stash and came up with a ball of Alley Cat BFL.

Back when we closed up the yarn shop, I dyed up the rest of the leftover undyed yarn. I did several balls in mostly solid colours so I could use the for lacework… just like sock above. I’ve called this colour Ancient Oak because it’s close in colour to the leaves as they fall off my neighbours oak tree.

The pattern is Mercury. It’s a pretty easy lace pattern, and it grows pretty quickly. It’s also nice and stretchy – everything you want in a sock.

I’m hoping to have this pair off the needles by the end of the month. I think I can… I think I can…
