Last month for Sock Knitters Anonymous I was going to knit the Pyroclastic socks. However, I had some problems with that pattern and ended up knitting the Traveling Vine pattern from "More Sensational Knitted Socks.
The picture you see here are the finished results. Hubby took the picture and didn't get a good close up of them. The yarn I used was donated to me by a friend on Ravelry. The yarn is called "The Sanguine Gryphon Kypria" color "The Swan". The yarn is 70% superwash merino wool and 20% bamboo/10% nylon. The skein was a 4 ounce skein with 466 yd and is a fengering weight yarn.
This is the first skein of yarn with bamboo in it that I've ever knit with. I had been skeptical about knitting with this type of yarn, only because my mom had knitted with some and she found she was allergic to it. However, I gave it a go and found that I had no problems knitting with it and so far have no problems with wearing these socks either.
I will be buying some of this yarn in the near future to knit some more socks with.
