I'm making socks. With both these colors, not at the same time, but two pair. This yarn is soooooooooooo soft!!! It's 100% Alpaca fur. It's absolutely delicious. I just started on my first pair...Though I am crocheting them because I can't seem to get a decent knitting pattern that I actually understand. (Though I think I found a nice lady to help me with a REALLY cute pair she's making) I only know the basic knitting terms and a few other ones as well that are a bit more difficult. I'm learning!

I only just started at the toe with the purplish color....it's going ok, though I'd rather be knitting.

I bought this at a shop here in Göteborg, Sweden called Broderi & Garn (Embroidery & Yarn)
It's made in Oslo,Norway though.....Garnstudio is the maker. It doesn't really have a color name on them, just the dye lot and so on, so I will name them Lucious Lavender and Mauvatious Mauve.

I could of come up with better but, you know! I am also trying to be a member of a site called Ravelry.com..however I am on a waiting list...ho-hum
I can wait a few days!

Most sock books have a simple pattern. "Socks Soar on Circular Needles" is well thought of.
There are also "two-needle" sock patterns that are knitted flat and then carefully sewn up. Alpaca socks feel wonderful but they stretch and get loose, so you may want to try a wool blend next time. Enjoy your knitting!
