Malabrigo just introduced minis in their Ultimate Sock yarn.
The yarn is perfect for socks. You can do your toes and heels in a different colour or you can add stripes. How about a hat or mittens?
The yarn is also great for shawls. Melanie Berg’s On The Spick Market (
pattern purchased on Ravelry) is a great shawl that is knit with minis.
This is a full skein of Natural Ultimate Sock.

Beachy Keen is another Melanie Berg shawl that is knit with minis (
pattern purchased on Ravelry).
For this picture I used Malabrigo Sock for the main colour - 1 skein each of Plomo and Flavia. For the minis I used
Cote D’Azure
Azul Profundo
Teal Feather
Caramel
Sunset
Frank Ochre
If you knit it starting with the dark blue contrast first I think you will need 2 skeins of Azul Profundo and Teal Feather.
How about a gnome from Sara Schira? This is Someone to Gnome About - Mini (
pattern purchased on Ravelry).
It’s time for the weekend to start. We’ve had dinner and the kitchen is clean. Now some knitting - I’m working away on Giardino.
