New Order
Sitting of the sofa for most of two football games Sunday afternoon (with the the New Order technobeat an earworm in my head) I had plenty of time to finish my first socks of 2007: Blue Monday socks for Soctopia.
I chose a skein of TOFUtsies sock yarn by Southwest Trading Company. I thought a "healthy" dose of soy would be a great way to start out the new year and if I slack in my diet, at least my feet can be comfy. 50% Superwash wool, 25% Soysilk, 22.5% cotton and 2.5% Chitin. According to the label, chitin is a fiber made from shrimp and crab shells and naturally antibacterial.
So it's back to work Monday blues but when I get home I'll have new socks to slip into.

They look lovely, the yarn sounds amazing.
I believe they varnish violins with chitin. I didn't know it was antibacterial though.
Very cool socks! Congrats on getting them done!
Very nice looking socks. Interesting yarn! does it feel soft?
Nice socks! I'd seen the Tofutsies but never anything made of it. Now I know it looks good!
