It's spun by Sylvie and Jacque at their Fibre-Isle mill in P.E.I. (http://www.bisonyarn.com/) and it's gorgeous. I have the natural colour which feels so soft in the skein you just want to keep squeezing it. It knits up beautifully too.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpvWDjpmSA8jk_5MXszF3YtSFQwAwCz45L8P-KiFFd3gEeRtPIKUVcm0941rZu7WjQV4csdL67AMFZvvxp4LwTaBQPmFWYiNqiqueOvgUZ3tzijgGP9510iZab_1qq0RnxS0E9DvgIALZQ/s200/002.JPG)
I'll get some more done by tomorrow so you can see the little knots on the leg of this sock (www.cabinfever.ca/P167.html). I'm knitting the women's version. The men's version calls for sock wool which knits to 28 sts = 4"/10cm giving the sock a 9"/23cm circumference. I am going this one with the Lovit Bison at a gauge of 32 sts = 4"/10cm for a sock circumference of 8"/20 cm. The same number of stitches for both sexes, just playing with the gauge and weight of sock wool. I can't wait to wash this sock and see if it blooms up a little. It's lovely to work with.I expect that Bernice is way ahead of me on the Adult J jacket. I will be casting on soon to try and catch up to her.
