The first tier of the Koigu skirt is put together, and that hardly took any time at all!
In a bout of startits, I started some Retro Rib socks (juuuust started) with the Shelridge Farm stuff I bought at KW:
…and a brioche stitch scarf out of some super-soft Inca Alpaca – I think in the States it’s called Misti Alpaca Grande, or something like that.
I also finally received my Vera, and a skein of Fleece Artist merino sock in “Renaissance”. And guess what? The Vera’s the same dyelot as mine! The second knee sock has been cast on, after a slight hiccup – I provisionally cast on the actual amount of stiches (instead of half) and only realized after the first agonizing row. D’oh!
Yay for Brioche! I love the Alpaca Grande (and the other weights of the same yarn).

Ha! “a bout of startits” i will be using that word…I’ve been looking for one to describe that particular behavior! I’m loving that colorway of pinks, greens and browns, can’t wait to see it knit up.
