Polly Jean Socks

Nicht sonderlich spektakulär aber letzte Woche fertig geworden: Polly Jean Socks in einem zauberhaften Frühlingsflieder. Das Muster war interessant und gleichzeitig sehr repetitiv und eignete sich damit hervorragend als S-Bahn-Projekt. Interessant war auch das verwendete Garn. Ich habe zum ersten mal Cascade Heritage verstrickt und mochte es sehr gern. Ich finde es ist etwas glatter und weniger fusselig als das reguläre Regia, Opal oder Lana Grossa und zeigt daher das Muster sehr schön.

Far from being exciting but they got done recently so they deserve a little picture and post in my blog. It’s a pair of Polly Jean Socks in a lovely lilac color that are calling spring all around. The pattern was interesting enough to not be boring but repetitive tp serve well as my public transport project. As for the yarn, I’ve been using Cascade Heritage for the first time here and I quite liked it. To me it seemed slightly smoother than the regular Regia, Opal or Lana Grossa yarns and therefore shows off the pattern stitches beautifully.

Details
Pattern: Polly Jean by MJ Kim
Yarn: Cascade Yarns Heritage, lilac (75% Superwash Merino Wool, 25% Nylon; 100 g/400 m)
Needles: 2.5 mm
Size: EUR 42, US Wo 10
Modifications: Slight modifications when it came to the twisted stitches because I couldn’t figure out how the designer wanted me to do them. I didn’t differentiate between M1L and M1R. M1R gives me the cramps and I absolutely refuse to do something that NOONE will ever notice.
