The Glitter Drop socks are done. This was a free pattern from Debbie Ford that I found while browsing around on Ravelry.
They look really cute in the pastel pinks and purples yarn.
I immediately cast on something new - Nurmilintu which is another free pattern from Ravelry. I'm doing it in a cake from Wonderland Yarns & Frabjous Fibers which I got when I signed up for their Garden Society 2023 Club. The theme this year is Ocean Garden.
The first colorway is Actinae which I think is related to sea anemones. It's gorgeous is what it is. This picture doesn't really do justice.
This cake is Mary Ann which is fingering weight. The club description says that that it will alternate between fingering and sport weight. You get one cake per month, a handmade stitch marker, and access to a pattern for the month's yarn. I didn't use any of the suggested patterns because I'd have Nurmilintu in my library for a while now and have been waiting for the perfect yarn.
Here's my start. I've done the first two bands. This is a neat pattern because there are no purl stitches. I've never done lace without any purls. It's not as crisp as I'd like so I'm hoping that the blocking when I'm done will open it up. I'm going to trust the process but if I do this pattern again I think I will probably purl the backside of the lace bands.
I also signed up for their Sock Club which comes quarterly so I haven't received my first shipment yet. I can't wait!
Wonderland yarns also has a number of available patterns using their yarns. Some of them are free. Check it out!
