WIP Wednesday ~ Oldie but Goodie

For my first pair of 2019 socks I've chosen the Fa Fa Fa Socks by Lois Leong.  Hard to believe that this pattern came out in 2009.  I've always loved it but never made them because I didn't want to work cables in the round.  I've graduated in fear and patience years ago and now the Fa Fa Fa Sock is an Easy Peasy in terms of working cables on a sock.  Besides the decision to begin the new year with a cable pattern I also decided that whatever sock patterns I choose this year they're coming from my Ravelry queue.  Not that I don't like any of the newer patterns but most seem to be takeoffs of the older patterns with slight variations.




I received this yarn as a gift last year from a fellow crafter.  It's by Mary Maxim a company that's been around for ages.  I can remember going through the catalogs in the 1980s and 90s.  Many of the items were sold as kits.  I guess they're still around.  The colors in this yarn are absolutely beautiful.   It's Vibrant !

 I guess I'll get back to my knitting and later go through my Ravelry queue to choose old sock patterns.  Afterall, they're the best.
