Look what I have!
Meilenweit Cotton Spirit, Sockotta and Panda Cotton.
Unfortunately, I had to buy from three different sources because I couldn’t find one with all three. The little skeins of Panda Cotton are so cute! I think that’s what I’m going to use for my sock pal’s socks. It’s so soft. I know it’s a shift from what I showed you before, but this is based on communication with my pal so I hope she’ll like it.
Now I just need to find a pattern. I just got the ‘More Sensational Knitted Socks’ book so I know I’ve got plenty of options. Thanks again to everyone for helping me in selecting the yarn. I can’t wait to start knitting!!!
Have a good weekend!
…but I’ve been feeling poorly this week and kept telling myself that I’d post ‘tomorrow’. At this rate I’ll never post, so here I am.
and I had a whole lot I wanted to say… now let’s see if I can remember any of it.
I’m sure I had more to say, but I cannot remember now. Enjoy the rest your day!
First of all, a big THANK YOU to my sock fairy for the comment you left. It put a big smile on my face and I’m so chuffed that someone out there is making socks for me!!!
And thank for all the comments and suggestions about cotton sock yarn. They were very helpful and I have made a couple of purchases which I will share once I have the yarn in my hot little hands.

I am in search of cotton or cotten blend sock yarn. I have never knit cotton before. Does any one have yarn recommendations? I’m looking for solid colors… I’ve looked at a few (like Panda Cotton & Meilenweit Cotton, just to name a couple) but am overwhelmed by the choices and various blends. (I’ve looked at Grumperina’s non-wooly list too…)
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
