Where did September go?

Where did September go? One minute it was August, then the first of September and I cast on my Koigu, and then suddenly, our leaves are almost gone and we're staring down the barrel of October.

I guess the only good news is that with winter comes easier knitting, because it's not quite so hot.



These are my gorgeous Koigus. The short repeats in the yarn make for an overall look of being hand-dyed without either pooling or striping. (I prefer pooling, but that's me.) This yarn had no slubs, no rough spots and no knots. That is exactly what I have come to expect from Koigu.

If I had a complaint (and I don't), it would be that I'd love to have names rather than numbers for the colourways. This is P515. Now, seriously, who can remember P515? (I mean, other than me for the purpose of knitting this yarn and writing about it. ) I don't even know what the P means, or whether there's a 500 series that this is a part of.

Koigu is a Canadian yarn, dyed in Ontario. It's sold in 50g skeins, so you will need two for a pair of socks. The skeins aren't overly long, so if you have large feet, or you're knitting for a man, you'll need three.
