True to my word, I went stash diving, and came up with something for birthday socks for Dave.
White Birch Fiber Arts Self-striping merino - the colourway is
Mistakes Were Made. I've paired it with some blue Barn Cat leftovers for the cuff ribbing, heel and toe
. I'm doing plain ol' vanillas, no fancy ribbing or stitches, so as long as I work on them every day, they should go quickly. Despite being for giant man feet.
While I was up stash diving, it was nice to see that I've put a fair dent in the stash the last few years. I actually didn't have a lot of sock yarn to choose from. It was an oddly good feeling. Today is studio clean-out day, so by the time it's over, I'll have an even better handle on the situation. More on that later...

That is a WONDERFUL color combo!
I LOVE THIS YARN. These are going to make some fabulous Dave birthday socks! I'm kinda jealous. I love when the yarn does the work. I know you'll make short order of these.
Nice colorway! My sock stash has dwindled in that I have little that I love left but I still can barely close the lid on the box and it's a huge box.
Ooh, they do look good! I need to reduce my stash too, but the thing I've noticed is despite the size of it I still don't have what I want for my next project. I used to have it, but used it for a pair of socks for T.
