Raspberry Swirl

I started my new SOTM kit from theknitter for January yesterday. It's called Raspberry Swirl by Debbie O'Neill and the yarn is Lily Chin Chelsea which is 30% Merino Wool, 35% cotton and 35% acrylic. It's a bit heavier than sockweight but is knitting up nicely and looks like they won't be too thick to wear in shoes. I'm not sure that this yarn has great stretch to it so I hope the cotton content hasn't compromised it's memory.

I finished the socks in Mega Boots Stretch and they look fantastic. It is really a nice yarn and it blooms beautifully after the first wash. I'll give them the work shoe test on Monday!
