A Really Good Yarn: Hump Day

This week’s deal is for Rockshelter Sock. Cathy and I knit Free your Fade with 3 skeins - 1 each of 3 different colours.

The yarn is one of the nicest that I have knit with. Super soft and drapes beautifully. It is called Sock but there is no nylon. If you are making socks with this yarn then you will want to add something to the heels or toes or make them for special occasion socks.

You can purchase the pattern for Free Your Fade on Andrea Mowry’s website. From Andrea

This shawl was created to be your favorite shawl pattern! Really relaxing garter stitch with engaging eyelet rows and endless color possibilities. It would be gorgeous knit up in one color, but you can just as easily use 20! I’ve extended the color melt sections for an even more cohesive fade, with easy instructions to add as many fade sections as you would like! The shawl is light weight and perfect year round when knit up in fingering weight yarn, but don’t let that stop you from knitting it up in any yarn weight you prefer to the size of your choosing!

Cathy used Sage, Claude Monet and Pisgah National Forest

I used Old Lace, Gifting and Opium Den

Here are a few colour suggestions.

Slate Green, Some Dark Holler, Pisgash National Forest

Old Lace, Gifting, Opium Den - my combination but the middle colour is less rust - I love the new combination

Foliose Lichen, Limpopo River, Slate Green

Dead Pharaohs, Wild Mushroom, Scrubgrass
