Pooling Socks

I really do need to blog a little more often. Each time I create a new entry, I feel like I'm learning all over again. I have a lot of "how do I do that" moments!

Judy over at Patchwork Times challenged us to make a pair of socks from yarn that pools:

I had just purchased my first handpainted yarn when I read about this, and I decided to accept the challenge! Here's a picture of the yarn I'm going to use:

I had a pattern picked out - it said it was perfect for handpainted yarns, so I thought I had it made. That was until I read that it was perfect for handpainted yarns because the pattern breaks up the pooling! So much for that. Thankfully I have a couple of other patterns I've been wanting to try, a new set of DPNs that are just waiting to go to work, and a couple of day trips planned for April (good knitting time). 

Wish me luck!
