I am spinning a soft merino/alpaca blend for a shawl and have another gansey to make. I also have the wool ready for a giltwood shawl

Last make was flax by tincanknits. A free pattern, easy and lovely to knit

The gansey I am making is anchor and finished size is 53 inches, a unisex pattern. I did the swatch very carefully, even machine washed on a wool wash (miele machine) it came out lovely and soft and perfect gauge on 2.5 needles

I use seaknit circulars these days, bamboo and easy on my fingers, especially for a big garment with many 000sof stitches. I have chiaogoo red lace too, also good needles but not as kind for a big knit

I’ve never heard of socks being defined by their flavour OP! hmm
Do you also do chocolate and fruits of the forest?

Socks for my take-out knitting and indoors a large-size gansey

The wool for the gansey is on cones, frangipani in damson, it is lovely wool, very warm but needs something underneath when wearing ie shirt or shirt

The socks are generally vanilla socks with perhaps ribbing, always top-down for me and worked on a combination of circular needles and dpns when turning the heel and shaping the toe
