Mom2legomaniacs Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 It is called Sinfonia 100% mercerized cotton sportweight. I got a lovely solid called Azul Nordico. Can I make socks with this stuff? And if so, what kind of pattern would work well for a new sock knitter and yet still be lovely? Any ideas out there? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Baer Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I suppose that would determine what you can do with it. I am trying to get the courage to make socks, but don't know what kind to make first. I was thinking of something warm and toasty as it's cold right now.

CalicoKat Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 This is a really cool website. when I get new yarn I can check out what others have made with it. I recently discovered some yarn that I got felted--even though the yarn package didn't say it did. Sure enough it made great felted slippers. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stirsmommy Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I have a friend who knits socks a lot. I haven't done them yet. She says you can do them out of cotton but they will stretch out of shape more if they don't have a little some else in them. My favorite socks of hers are 100% cotton I love the way they look but she says they stretch and slip in to her shoes. I say if you like it for socks why not?

Hey, what's your name there? Is it CalicoKat? I'm PariSarah there, too. Friend me! Or let me friend you! (Dh says I don't have enough friends.

Mom2legomaniacs Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 I got 2 skeins each 100 grams in weight. I did go to Ravelry and look around. I posted on the WTM group there too. I just haven't learned how to navigate those boards yet. I really want to make socks!!! I haven't been to a store, yet, that has sock yarns. I have only been to Hobby Lobby, Wal-Mart, and Jo-Ann Fabrics. I got the Sinfonia at Hobby Lobby and was hopeful I could use it for some socks. I love the color. I have only made 1 sock and part of a 2nd (in progress). I don't know how to pick patterns yet for these things. They are quite intimidating!

sdWTMer Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Friend me too. :rolleyes: My name there is the same as here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdWTMer Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Just wanted to add. If you go into ravelry, you can see a button on the top of the page (after you've logged in, of course) that says "yarns". Next you type in "sinfonia." Then to the right of that you see "206 projects." There are quite a few. Maybe this will help give you an idea. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
