These are not your plain vanilla socks....

Eagerly anticipated.......a preview copy of the Rowan Fine Art Collection  arrived in the mail last week along with a skein of Pheasant Fine Art yarn. I've been contemplating ever since.  Make a pair of socks? Wear those socks inside your shoes and only have a little tiny bit of them show between shoe and pant leg?  Hmmmm.....not being a sock kind of knitter, I have started a sock, a plain vanilla sock, but it's just not doing it for me. Don't get me wrong - this yarn is beautiful and will make lovely socks....but I'm not a sock knitter.  I don't like the idea of knitting fine gauge gorgeous yarn to then stick a boot over it!   But if you like knitting socks, treat yourself to a skein - it will be well worth it!   Merino, Mohair, Silk - scrumptious! Then, a yarn fairy dropped by and added to my stash of this gorgeous yarn.... Lapwing (306)                       ...

I just received this skein of "Pheasant" Rowan Fine Art yarn along with the Fine Art Collection to review for Rowan Yarns. I LOVE this shade...and I'm having a brain freeze trying to decide what to do with it. Does this ever happen to you - something is just so wonderful you can't use it because you are petrified you might not choose just the most perfect project to go with the wonderful yarn? Please tell me I'm not the only one!
