Zen Yarn Garden Serenity 20 Coeur d'Alene colorway[/caption]
Serenity Glitter Sock is a fingering weight yarn made of 80% superwash merino, 10% cashmere, and 10% metallic nylon. It features the same depth of color as Serenity 20 in its own range of distinct colorways. The metallic nylon adds a hint of sparkle that beautifully complements the natural sheen of the yarn.
All Zen Yarn Gardens yarns will be on sale from July 10, 2015 to July 16, 2015.
Come back next week to see our next featured independent Sweet Georgia Yarns!
There's nothing like a pair of handknit socks. You can use gorgeous sock yarn, choose your stitch pattern, and take them with you wherever you go. One thing I've learned over the years is how to customize socks to fit my feet, and I like a rounded toe. It's important for me because my feet are fairly straight across the toes, and a pointy toe just ends up flopping around empty.
Kelley likes a rounded toe, too, and she's developed a recipe for making them for her toe-up socks. She creates her rounded toe by spreading out the increases, separating them with a growing number of knit rounds in-between.
It's summertime, and the knitting is breezy. Here are 5 great patterns to cast on (and wear!) during the summer months.
Never stop knitting, regardless of the heat!
