I always thought this was the most ridiculous fortune a cookie could offer, but then yesterday I got home from work to a postcard from Lisbon and a package from Ireland.
Hedgehog Fibres Twist Sock in Pheasant.
The package? Yarn I ordered from Hedgehog Fibres on Saturday. Not even a week ago! This is a bit different from the yarn I used to knit my Hummingbird Socks, though. I imagine it’s dyed the same way, but that yarn was a four-ply Merino/Nylon blend and this is a two-ply BFL/Nylon. It feels much springier, but that bit of nylon also makes me think it will hold up well. (I ordered yarn for Grace from Quince & Co. the same day – maybe in some late-April miracle it will arrive today!)
And, because it’s silly to order one skein of yarn all the way from Ireland, Twist Sock in Unforgiven.
In other news, I am knitting another pair of Stepping-Stones for my mum and I swear these socks knit themselves. Barely a few hours in and I’m almost at the heel. It’s (almost) silly to knit quick socks at this time of year, since she won’t need them for another six months or so, but I don’t care. The next pair, though, is for me!

Beautiful yarn – I love the pheasant colourway!
Beautiful yarn! I’ve been reading you blog and decided to try for my first pair of socks….can you mail me a little bit of your talent? 😉
Oh, this is so exciting! I am sending excited, confident vibes your way 🙂
Thank you. I will try to keep my blog posted with pictures so no matter what happens I will learn something! Thanks for the vibes, I’m gonna need them!
Drooling over these fantastic yarns! You have excellent taste in yarn and patterns. Looking forward to seeing what you knit with these.
