home again home again
We’re back from our turn-around trip to Atlanta (not “Altanta,” I’m sorry if I misled you) and all I have to show for it is a pair of socks.
Mediumweight Socks That Rock (Fred Flintstone) with adapted Basic Cabled Socks.
As I mentioned when I was making Carola‘s Toasty Toes, I heart the mediumweight STR. Springy, squidgy, quick and nice to work with, I now have a snuggy pair of socks in a fun color. This is absolutely a yarn that I will use again. Especially since I have enough left over to make stripes on a pair of future socks.
My feed-reader also seems to have healed itself over the weekend. This means a leisurely morning of catching up with everyone (and ignoring the work-related email that has accumulated over the weekend – I would be more interested if there was yarn involved). I think this calls for a second pot of coffee.

Socks looks great….of course ALL the socks you make are GREAT!! I really like the cable pattern down the side!

gorgeous socks!
I’m glad that you love the Brown-Eyed-Girl sock hop also … I might have spun it (is there a small T on the label?)
glad that you are back in cool photograph mode
