May brings Wyvern

[chemicallace]

domtheknight helped me pick out our May/June pick: Wyvern. We're both excited to try toe-up socks, as this will be a first for us. Any words of wisdom, comm, or do we have nothing to fear?

I also have to confess that between finishing my Ph.D., wedding planning, and having a really resilient sinus infection I still haven't finished either of our previous picks. I'm working on it, though. What else could eleven plane flights over the course of my honeymoon be for?

Anyway, yarn thoughts? I was thinking of going with something green but I don't have anything like that in my stash so I have an excuse to visit Weaving Works for their big sale next weekend.

Yay toe-up socks \o/

I have a blue-green colorway that will be awesome for this...

i've tried several different toe up methods

none have quite clicked with me, yet - where "clicked" is defined as "totally easy, so easy i don't even have to lookit the pattern and can knit with my eyes closed after just trying it once"

yeah, so that might be an unreasonably high expectation ~grin~

i'm interested in joining a new sock-a-long

[chemicallace]

Welcome! It's nice to meet you. You should post and introduce yourself so we can hear all about your sock adventures.

erm, i think i just did?

is something more required?

[chemicallace]

Oh, no, nothing's required, but as some people just skip over comments I thought you might like to make a full post to introduce yourself to the comm. It's by no means necessary, though, I just wanted to let you know you have the option :-)

ah, cool

i think i'll pass, i never did get the hang of intro posts
