I’ve had this skein of KnitCircus Opulance in a prototype colorway that will make super cozy and soft socks thanks to the 10% cashmere content. It’s honestly been wound up into two equal balls for weeks but I didn’t have the gumption to start the socks.
But I had the opportunity to get this started on the perfect morning. Early morning appointment for one of the kiddos, no work and a hot coffee. I unpacked my purse on a clean table and had a glorious 30 minutes to myself.
I am casting on 60 stitches and following the same “recipe” as my Emotional Support Socks. I just don’t plan to make them as tall. Maybe ankle height? I need more of those in my rotation for ankle boot days.
Happy Knitting!!

I’ve never used a cashmere blend yarn before. How well does it hold up in socks? Perhaps with only 10% it’s just as sturdy as other sock yarns.
I really enjoyed reading/listening to The Radium Girls. Very interesting book. How are you liking it so far?
Cashmere does pill but so far it hasn’t had any wearing out. I like the book, some parts make me squeamish but I am learning a lot about a part of history I didn’t know.
Beautiful color!
And the book looks interesting as well 🙂
Time to have coffee and knit .. perfect way to get started.
