my first post!

So here it is my maiden voyage at blogging. I created this blog as a way to give back. I have learned so much from other peoples blogs I thought it was time I shared my limited experience and maybe helped someone else.

I thought my first post could be about one of my favorite yarns, classic worsted tapestry. I have now made two pairs of socks from this yarn. They are toe up, based on a lot of winging it, and the amazing info available at

This made the entire toe up sock mystery very clear. These two pairs of socks also have the distinction of being my first two! so they have a special place in my heart. The socks are fast, easy super warm, and cozy. The pair for my boyfriend were in a color way called coal fire, which is red black and white. For myself I used rose garden, which features pinks, oranges and white. I loved working with the yarn, and my fella actually wears his socks! A warning however, they are quite thick, and not really suitable for wearing in shoes, but for bed socks, or knock around socks, perfection. The yarns self pattern is adorable, and a nice alternative for those of us who are fair isle impaired!
