I have knitted 3 mini socks - They were fun, but I don’t recommend using RHSS if you are a tight knitter and are using little needles! My fingers were very sore! (I used that for the red & white stocking) I used Bernat Satin for the other two - much easier!
I finally bought some Malabrigo - it is just scrumptious! I am making a scarf for my DD and her roomate for Christmas. The first one I started using the Malabrigo worsted in Verde Adriana. I am using a pattern I found on a dishcloth site, lol - called Yarn Over Cable Cloth
I haven’t decided what pattern to use for the other scarf, but I love the pretty blue color. It is called Tuaree. Unfortunately the picture is a bit fuzzy, but the point was to capture the color anyhow!
Your socks are so cute:yay:Don’t you just LOVE Malabrigo Yarn:muah:The scarf is looking beautiful :cheering:I have used for scarves myself and love it.
You should post your socks over in the Charity section also!!!
Cute socks! I agree with the RHSS assessment. It kills my hands…like knitting with sandpaper. There are better choices.
I bought my first malabrigo, but haven’t knit with it yet. I’m going to test it on my super sensitive skin because I’d really love to make a wool sweater.
I do alot of knitting/crocheting with RHSS for making HAP rectangles, but that is done on larger needles…I can tolerate that, but never again smaller than a size 8! I hope you have luck with the malabrigo - it is just such a pleasure to work with!!
Starting small with the mini stockings! I hope to make big ones for the kids…maybe for next Christmas! So, they will have them done when they have kids of their own, lol!:teehee:
Great work on the stockings and the scarf! Thank you also for posting that dishcloth website. It’s a treasure with so many ideas for scarves, baby blankets, etc.
The stockings are adorable, and I love the scarf! Your dd and her roommate are very lucky girls!
