Fireweed Dyeworks - first sock done

I can't believe it's the long weekend already !! And, because it's May long, it's raining - no - make that pouring. Anyone who has dreams of getting the bedding plants in might as well have stayed in bed.

This is the first sock from Fireweed Dyeworks Kettle Dyed Fingering in Northern Lights:



The sock itself looks a little off - that's because I have learned the hard way that when I rotate photos, the program compresses them. The leg isn't quite that fat.

The yarn, however, is plump and very easy to work. No knots, no slubby bits, no ply tears. The dye pattern creates what I call a mosaic look - variegated without striping at all. Some parts of the dye are saturated, some not so, but this is a look I like, so I am very pleased.
