Summer breeze…makes me feel fine
Going through the jasmine in my mind…yes, I’m dating myself. I can’t get that silly song out of my head ever since I cast on the Breeze socks for Sheila. I really just chose this pattern
because it fit the yarn I wanted to use. However, I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the pattern and how much I like they way they look. They
were fun, easy and I love the way the designer paid attention to patterning the toes. I think these will keep poor Sheila’s aka “Pinkie” (thus the yarn choice) tootsies nice and warm at night. :sleep:
Recap… Pattern: Breeze from knitty.com, Yarn: Classic Yarns Cashsoft 4 ply (57% extra fine merino, 33% microfibre, 10% cashmere, 50g/180m/197y) Color: sh421 (pink) needles: US 1/2.25mm Chiagoo bamboo DPNs Gauge: 7 sts and 10 rows per inch Size made: Small, but we have 8.5/9 feet (isn’t it handy that all the sisters wear approximately the same size shoes???) and finished length was 8.5 inches. They stretch quite a bit in this yarn. I was a little worried I might run out of yarn but I had a good sized wad left, 6g.

Ah, my first official appearance on big Seester’s blog. That’s “Sister” for all you non relatives who might be reading. I never did read the blog about my birthday socks and thus spoil the surprise. Just started reading a few weeks ago, but boy is there a lot to read! If we get all three seesters going at once, I don’t know if anyone else will be able to get a word in edgewise! (Kind of like real life
)So, I probably will keep my comments few and far between, except for the big blog celebration that we’ll have when “Shirl” wins Tontine!! BTW, looovved the obstacle course video, it really showed off that impecable coordination that you are famous for
Until next time, Pinky-out.
