Wild Woman Socks

I just got back from my first visit to Knitting Central's trunk show for Trish of Tanglewood Fiber Creations.  Such fun!  Such fiber!  So many choices.

I realized that my Wild Woman Socks weren't providing enough contrast between the two yarns to see the design.  Trish came to the rescue by recommending that I pair one of her sock weight yarns with a commercial solid color.  That was just the ticket.  I purchased three more skeins of Trish's gorgeous yarn and paired with with some Spud and Chloe in a light aquamarine blue.  Then I picked up a golden tan and a pumpkin orange to use as contrast yarn for the Merino/Silk Tanglewood Fiber Creations I bought at the Sock Summit and started to knit yesterday.  

Now I can't wait to knit up a bit of the Wild Woman Sock in these new combos.  Such fun.  Such bliss.

Great tip for the yarn doubles. Cannot wait to see the blues.

What is it about orange? I am a garden writer and often write about my love of orange flowers while my gardening friends stay as far away from them as possible. Orange, they say, clashes with blue, lavender and pink. Well, maybe the pink, but nothing is as lovely as a bed of deep purple iris blooming alongside orange Shirley poppies. Orange was my wedding color so many years ago. This yarn gives me goosebumps.
