Beginning Kaibashira

Posted under knitting, kaibashira - Thursday, January 31, 2008

Since I’ve just finished two long-time projects in quick succession, I needed something new on the needles. Oh, sure, I’ve got the silk (ArtFibers Golden Chai, 100% golden tussah silk, colorway 33, yum) sweater that’s languishing on the needles. And there’s the super simple lace scarf that’s crawling along. But I’m feeling socks right now, so socks it will be. I really liked knitting (and wearing!) my two most recent handknit socks, and the common bond is a lacy pattern, so I went looking for another similar style. It’s called Kaibashira, and amazingly enough, I have the exact yarn called for in my extremely small stash (hey, I had to drag it halfway across the world - it’s amazing I have a stash at all, really)! Well, the same yarn, but not the same colorway. I have what I call PINK! although the manufacturer calls it 733 Get Your Feet Wet.

So, here we go!
