I finished up the Sylvan Socks yesterday afternoon, so last night I cast on the last of the Art & Sole Sock Club sock patterns - Moderne. The original club yarn was destroyed by carpet beetles, and all that I have left is the yarn label.
The yarn is discontinued, and I had no luck in finding a replacement, so I went to the Yarn Substitution website and found a substitution. The very first yarn listed as a possible substitute, with a 99% match, was Expression Fiber Arts Resilient Sock. Now I have a fair bit of Expression Fiber Arts yarn in my stash, including several skeins of Resilient Sock. So I did a quick search on my Stash page and came up with the skein above. It is even orange (the original color was Slice of Orange). I do not know the color name for this skein as it came as part of a trio called Spring’s Promise, and the original bag it came in is gone. I am making a modification to the pattern - the first chart is a lot of purls and knits that are forming a sort of broken rib, which then flows into Chart 2 which has twisted rib (knit through the back loop, purl) and it just seemed odd to me that I was not knitting those stitches in Chart 1 through the back loop, so I decided to make that change.
Pattern: Moderne by Janel Laidman
