rmd: (crochet)

yay internet!

The internet[1] gave me two 65g skeins of Deborah Norville serenity garden yarn - fine weight, made of microfiber.

I don't usually do much with fine weight yarn, so now I have to think of a cool project to do with it. I'm not sure how feasible it is to crochet socks rather than knit them, but I could do the uppers with this and then the feet part with a more boring color of a similar weight yarn. (I crochet, but I don't knit - I used to know the basics of knitting, but I think that knowledge has long since fallen out of my brain.)

[1] it was from a secret santa exchange for an online community i'm part of - my assignee's wife had just had a daughter, so i sent him a copy of 'blueberries for sal' and a couple of crocheted mug cozies.

I have crocheted socks. Not recommended as a useful exercise. Very inelastic, as Kathryn noted already, which makes them hard to put on and take off.

that makes sense.
