Rainy Day short row heels
Loosely based on the Magknits pattern. Mods: toe-up, 2 at once, short row heels, twisted rib cuff, sewn cast-off.

Rainy day socks, kinda
Very quick and easy, especially because I didn't follow the posted recipe. I made these two-at-once, toe-up, with magic loop on size 3mm needles. Oh, and short-row heels instead of flap and gusset. I didn't do the picot bind-off, either, just twisted rib.

The Money Shot
Since I have my 50mm lens on (still haven't had occasion to take it off), I thought I'd take a nifty picture of the new yarn. This is the BMFA Atomic #6 that BigAlice sent me last year. All plied, it's 310 yards and 3.5oz.
Also, this is closer to the actual colors of this yarn. Keep in mind that the fluorescent lighting can be very unflattering, though.

FO - BMFA Atomic No. 6
This is a true 3-ply, not a navajo-ply. Final weight is 99g or 3.5oz. There's an additional 5g ball of singles that didn't make it into this yarn. The fluorescent light in here does nothing for the color of the yarn, which is much darker and purpler than it appears here. Great new camera, but it's a diva when it comes to lighting, I guess.

Packet checks the wooly fragrance
She looks like she's attacking it (and she's been known to do so in the past), but she's just biting down with her teeth and breathing deeply.

Packet tests the squish factor on the new yarn
This is the BMFA yarn that BigAlice sent me last year. Colorway: Atomic #6. 3.75oz in the package, but since I 3-plied and not all the plies ended up being the same length, it's less than that. I haven't re-weighed it to find out what the finished weight is, but I do have 310 yards (approx).

Spinning WIP
BMFA, Atomic #6. I'm making an effort to spin this just a shade thicker so I can get a nice, sproingy sock yarn out of it. You can see how I'm going between really thin and mostly thin. It's hard to spin thick once you get the hang of laceweight!

BMFA Atomic #6
I couldn't help myself. I started spinning new fiber today. This is the Blue Moon Fiber Arts Atomic #6, and it's made of heaven. I tried to impress Darren with its softness by rubbing it on his arm before remembering that he's allergic. Oops.
