Ahhhh.
P706 has been my favourite Koigu colourway since forever. There is just so much going on in there, but in such small dabs, it mesmerized me as I knit to the extent that I just kept knitting and knitting until my cranking arm seized up.
This is the one I often call ‘Monet’ for all the fine specks of colour.
I used an olivey-brown Wooly Nylon to reinforce the heels and toes.
I presume the ‘D’ in the colour name means ‘dark’ as this dye lot is darker than other (many other) batches I’ve knit of this.
Here are a few sample pairs:
The top pair is size Medium, and the bottom pair is size Large; both knit with the 72 needle cylinder on the Verdun 47.
Koigu KPPPM is 100% merino, handpainted; ~1705 yds/ 50g
Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate all that you share and the time you spend to do so; I am glad to be a bystander part of it (although I do crank out socks, and we do have sheep, so maybe not a total bystander).
I really struggled when I was learning to crank and I received a lot of encouragement and inspiration from others. I hope my blog helps pay the kindness forward ;o)
Speaking for myself, you have definitely paid it forward!

Argh, I will never get those silly little faces right; think big smile.
