[caption id="attachment_1398" align="aligncenter" width="604"] Lacery Socks with SweetGeorgia Tough Love Sock Yarn[/caption] Tough Love Sock Yarn from SweetGeorgia is a new yarn in our shop that we have picked up at Alpaca Direct. I like to sample the yarns before the yarn arrives to the store and warehouse so that I better understand the characteristics of each yarn. I am very impressed with Tough Love Sock. This yarn feels like it contains silk even though it is a blend of 80% superwash merino and 20% nylon. The colors are absolutely vivid as you can see from the photo. The yarn has a spring to it so it's easy on your hands. The result is you get a gorgeous sock with a ultra-high quality merino along with stretch and durability from the nylon. The sock pattern I chose is called "Lacery" a free download from Michelle Hunter's website. I love her patterns as they are always written clearly due to her 30+ years of teaching. If you get stuck, there are videos to teach each skill used to knit the patterns. This is a great resource for our customer and students in our classes. I will rate this project with a definite A+++ rating as the yarn is lovely and does not split. Give this a try and I think you'll love the result!

Do you feel lost when it comes to picking out your first knit sweater pattern? This week, Kelley shared her favorite sweater patterns during Technique Tuesday. These patterns all feature minimal seaming, have detailed instructions, and have lots of completed projects on Ravelry!
Kelley has knit the Brick Sweater several times, and has decided to knit it again with all our Technique Tuesday viewers! Grab some worsted weight yarn and join us for this informal knit along.
