A quick trip through the Google translator tells me that the colorway name translates into “currant and nettle” in English. Very appropriate, no?

So, Thursday night I was thinking that I needed a simple project to take to Virginia Beach with me for the weekend. “This is a job for Wollmeise!” thought I. I ventured into the stash room and looked through the Wollmeise I have, and decided on this lovely colorway.

I did do a bit of knitting over the weekend, and today I am past the heel on the first sock.

And here is a close-up of the slipstitch heel, just because a slipstitch heel in Wollmeise makes me happy.

The pattern is a simple knit/purl thing, and the results kind of make me think of bamboo.

So I am calling this sock “Bamboozled.” Just try and stop me.

I’ve got another new work-in-progress . . .

And I’m afraid Lucy can’t come to the blog right now . . .

It’s suppertime!
