Sock-a-holic

One of the Crocus socks is done. I’m really happy with how it turned out. The little bits of periwinkle are so cute. The 3×1 rib got a little monotonous. The second pair is not knitting up as fast.

Julie’s sneak peak pictures prompted me to try knitting another pair of scrappy socks. This one is going to have a mate. I’m elated at how well the plain stockinette sock is knitting up. There is really not much of a pattern to the colors, other than I’m trying to rotate the skinny stripe being white or a color. The cuff, heel and toe are in done a semi-solid wee skein. I don’t want to spoil it so I’m holding off on taking a picture until I’m done with the whole sock.

My Yarn Pirate order is taking a tour of the west coast. What pisses me off is that the freaking thing was in OH on Saturday and they sent it back to the Pacific!!! The best part is that my 5 skeins - not say my Booty Club which can be easily reshipped - are one of a kind overdyes.  Update: the package has stopped at G’s house after a side trip to Oregon and is being whipped into submission!  Hopefully my naughty yarn will be here next week.  Three cheers for G!!!

I’ve had this song stuck in my head which is sort appropriate.
