Now, I have to say that I chose this skein because of the lime green and charcoal grey (which I have yet to get to on the skein), having no clue that there was orange and purple involved as well! They are going to make very warm socks, however ;)

I first saw Silk Garden Lite socks on Lolly's blog and knew right away that I wanted to try to knit a pair of my own.

I loved Lolly's socks and I love how yours are turning out! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteCool colors though! I guess it's quite the surprise knit huh! :)
ReplyDeleteSo interesting that you don't know what colors your going to get!
ReplyDeleteI think kitty was comfortable. He keep sitting next to the case in the hopes I'll open it again.
I never thought about using silk garden lite for socks - I'm making a shawl out of it right now, and you're right, you never can tell what the colors are going to be until you wind it.
ReplyDeleteThose socks look great. I have two skeins of SG Lite waiting to be knit into similar socks. I wonder what mysterious colors are waiting for me.
