It’s Lintilla… AND Trillian… and breaking new ground :)
BySo it was Lintilla by a landslide… but one of the comments (the lovely Rayna from the Crystal Diva blog) recommended a look at this:
It’s Trillian by Martina Behm, the same designer who created Lintilla. I was instantly smitten and cast on.
And I’d have to say it’s working out pretty nice so far :) Lintilla’s not dead though….
I bought this in Halifax. I haven’t a clue what it is. It’s either fingering or sport, and there’s a decent amount of it, but I’m not sure how much. Martina’s patterns are awesome because you can stop when you think you’re going to run out and you still have a useful thing at the end of it, and that makes this yarn a good candidate! Oh… and of course it’s back in my colour comfort zone…yes, this shall be my Lintilla.
Also making their way onto the needles are a pair of these!
Yes, socks! Me! I hate dpns! I’ve never made a sock! I read this pattern though and actually laughed out loud. The writing is charming, funny, clear, and seems meant to guide a chicken like me into sock knitting. It’s the Easy Peasy Sock by Stacey Trock. It’s worsted, so it doesn’t freak me out too much, and they’re ankle socks so I think I’ll actually wear them. Cast away!
Each project is delightful! Those ankle socks are just up my alley.

Thanks for the shout out, luv! LOVE my Trillian…and I am so glad you chose it. I keep thinking I will make another but you know the drill…so many things to knit, so little time.
As for socks – I have two words for you…Magic Loop!! I loathe DPNs and have barely touched them since discovering magic loop. I am on my 12th or 13th pair of socks ;-) If you need any help/support/commiseration, I am here for you ;-)

Haha, thanks Rayna! So far so good actually, I’ve turned the heel already and I’m working my way down the foot – working in worsted makes it go fast :) Pics to come soon, and thanks for the suggestion, I’m loving it!

I did a pair of worsted weight socks for Chase and they went so fast it was ridiculous. I did a pair of sport weight on 3.25mm needles last week…cast on one sock at 9 AM on Saturday and had it finished before bed. Makes the fingering weight ones feel VERY slow now ;-)

What a beautiful edge on the wrap!
