The stitch pattern is one that I have done before, the slip stitch rib from SKS. I started out the sock using a rib and moss pattern from one of the Knitting Treasuries, but it was just not working out as I had hoped. There was surprising little elasticity to the stitch pattern. Elasticity is not a problem with the slip stitch rib. In fact, I have had to change over to using the magic loop rather than my beloved 12&#8243; circulars because the draw in of the pattern makes the 12&#8243; kind of a pain.<\/p>\n<p>You may notice that Reluctant Dragon is kind of dark, so for lighter knitting, I started another Naiad sock.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/oriole-dubious-start.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-891\" title=\"oriole-dubious-start\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/oriole-dubious-start-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This colorway is Oriole &#8211; Dubious, which I also got that the Homespun Yarn Party. I am not quite sure what Dubious means, perhaps a test run of a colorway or something, but I really like how this is kintting up, and love the base yarn.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and I have started spinning up the fiber I got from Neighborhood Fiber at HYP.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/neighborhood-fiber-spinning.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-892\" title=\"neighborhood-fiber-spinning\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/neighborhood-fiber-spinning-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It spins up pretty easily, with me being half way through the braid now. Being part silk though, it does stick to my sweaty hands. A little baby powder helps with that problem, though.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, there is this to explain:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/the-remains.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-893\" title=\"the-remains\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/the-remains-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But I will do that a little later.
