The reason why I bring this us now is because I am knitting a sock for the occasion. Yes, sock, not plural. I've been meaning to knit a sample with Tardis Tart Ombre in Yummy fingering since I dyed the yarn and what a better time than now? I hope to finish this in time for the trunk show, as I have a feeling I'll get a lot of people asking how the yarn knits up.
This is what it looks like in the skein! (this was a different dye lot than the knitting above)
I have to say, I ADORE how it is knitting. I'm just doing a basic 2x2 rib on a size US 1.5 needle. The different shades of blue (and white) are spiraling around the cuff like a vortex! How very Doctor Who!!!
If you're interested in a skein of this yarn, I do have a few skeins available to ship as early as today! If the yarn doesn't have an "add to bag" button below it, I can have more dyed up this week.
I hope you have a great rest of the week. That's it for me today!

Your yarns are amazingly addictive to knit with. I've knitted up 4 skeins already, and have my eye on another 3 colourways that are quietly luring me in. Can't afford any right now, but I'm saving up! Knitting a blouse completely in Candy Skein Yummy Fingering made for the softest garment I've ever had the pleasure to wear!
ReplyDelete... Oh crap, I had to go look and you've added yet another colourway I can't resist. You enabler, you ;)
DeleteI love the colours of your yarns! Really need to get me some; just as soon as I've used up a bit more of my stash :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the colours of your yarns, they are so tempting!
ReplyDeleteWow, that sock is awesome!! I love the yarn, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat knits up so beautifully! I'm drooling...
ReplyDeleteOh yes, very very Doctor Who. If I hadn't already knit a pair of Tardis socks ...
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the presentation!
ReplyDeleteI really like how that is knitting up too! vortex. (nodding)
ReplyDeleteBoth the yarn and the start of your sock is very pretty! I can't wait to see the finished pair of socks!
ReplyDeleteLove those colors, so fun! All this Dr. Who talk is making me want to see what all this mania is about ... :) Any recommendations on a season to start with?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your presentation but you will do great. Your love for what you do will shine through. And you have great yarn to show!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who seems so busy this Summer! I'm not making my usual progress which is slow enough. I love your yarn and if I had some spare change I'd order some but right now is not the time. Good luck at your speaking engagement and don't be nervous just remember they're all there to hear and see YOU so just be yourself and they'll love it! I would!
ReplyDeleteOooh, good luck giving your talk! Maybe if you picture everyone knitting, you won't be nervous!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the way that is knitting up! It's very TARDIS whoosh, if that makes sense...
