White sock yarn, take four
The white sock yarn sits in the box with the other sock yarns, haunting me. I recently unraveled its previous incarnation as a too-small sock. I didn't intend to work with it at all, just went into the sock yarn box to get the orange zest Sundara yarn. There it was, the white sock yarn, a veteran of three incomplete socks, threatening to be in the stash forever.
haha, but I know a pattern so well-suited to your kind, that even you, white sock yarn, resister of all patterns, will succomb. The Gentleman's Fancy Sock from Knitting Vintage Socks. Stretchy, on size zero needles, and seen lately on your relative, the purple and black tweed jawoll. Even you, white jawoll sock yarn, will work in this pattern.

That sock will be gorgeous in white!! I too, am in love with that book...I still haven't cast on for anything yet, but regularly flip through the pages and scheme away! Soon...very soon.
By the way, I really like your blog and visit regularly...I aspire to have such an awesome FO gallery someday! Very inspirational.

White sock yarn - sounds gorgeous. And they will be fabulous in the Gentleman's Fancy Socks. Trust me, the fourth time really is a charm.

That yarn looks SO pretty. White socks could be potentially dangerous...dirt waiting to happen...

Go white sock yarn! You can do it!
They are really lovely socks, a bit tough on the eyes but lovely!

I'd combine it with another color. with neutrals to make a soft fabric, or black for drama, or blues for boating, and so on.
