 The Best! 1 of 9

I will be starting my second pair of socks with the Lorna's Laces sport weight using the Knitting Pure and Simple Sock pattern for sport wt. yarn.I can't say enough abuot both the yarn and the pattern. The pattern is super easy to follow and allows me to knit up socks in a short time. I did go down to a size 2 needle though with this pattern and yarn and it works out great! I am just knitting simple plain socks for myself - the Lorna's Laces colors speak for themselves. I will knit patterned socks at a later time - but the Knitting Pure and Simple pattern makes knitting socks a quick knitting pleasure with the sport weight. The Lorna's Laces sport doesn't knit up so bulky and is - to me - not very much thicker than knitting with the sock wt. yarn. I definitely will be treating myself to more socks knit with the Lorna's Laces sport weight. Only problem - which color to choose next. And even though JBW shows the yarns in the photos at their best - nothing can compare to seeing these beautiful colors in person. The colors are very rich and beautiful and the yarn itself couldn't be softer and more wonderful to knit with. Thanks JBW for continuing to offer us the best!

I made a great pair of socks with this yarn. The colorway is so great. Had many people ask me about them yes, I wore them on Halloween night. I just love this yarn!

I have become addicted to the Lorna's Laces limited edition yarn. Sometimes I buy worsted weight, sometimes sport weight. It's the best yarn EVER!!!!

This yarn wears amazingly and is a dream to knit. It has wonderful stitch definition and so soft and the colors are beautiful and hold up to washings.

 Jimmy's Journey Sock (June 09) 8 of 9 
 Review by: andersox     (read andersox's 6 other reviews) Jun 11, 2009

Jimmy's Journey is a nice colorway for spring/summer socks to wear with jeans.  The sock-weight yarn is on the thin side, but one skein makes one adult sock with a bit to spare.

I love this yarn! So far I have used Somerset, Jeans, and New Year's Lights (Jan. '09). It's soft and not itchy at all, but I wish JBW had more colorways...
